Martin - I had a look through records, cds and tapes (including some personal recordings of live performances) and I don't seem to have either Jim or Johnny singing it. And although I hung out with Jim and Johnny for 25 years or so, I pretty much gave up shanty singing in the 70s, so I never paid attention to the verses (I remember the 1st verse and that's about all!). Still there are plenty of people on here who are really interested in shanties, so I imagine someone will come along and post Jim and Johnny's version. Mick
