Richard from Liverpool	Lyr Req: The Manchester Ship Canal (39)	RE: Lyr Req: The Manchester Ship Canal	19 Jun 12
Really really interesting to see another version of this song! I sing a version 'reconstructed from childhood memories' by Stan Kelly It's similar in terms of the words used, and from talking to Stan Kelly he said to use the tune of The Erie Canal (from which he borrowed some of the words to complete the fragmentary memories he had of it). Is your tune anything like that, or something different? Either way, would love to hear you sing it. (I work not far from Norwich, are there any folk clubs or anything you go to around in East Anglia where I could hear you sing it?) Here's me singing the Stan Kelly version on my Liverpool folk song a week blog.
