doc.tom	Origins: What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor (53* d)	RE: Origins: Drunken Sailor-Dickens question for Gibb	11 Mar 16
Seeing as how John Short's name has now come up - for the avoidance of doubt, the words he gave to Cecil were: Haul Away, haul away, haul away my Rosie Way haul away, haul away Joe. O you talk about your a-ver girls, and round the corner sad-i-ly But they cannot come to tea with the girls of Booble Alley Once I had a nice young girl and she was all me ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... a pony Once I had a little dog and his name was Toby And he bit the crack out of poor little Rosie Now up aloft this yard must go, we'll pull her free and easy Another pull and then belay, we'll make it all so easy. "Mr. Short described it as a tacks and sheet chantey." C# NB: Sharp's published text was rubbish he had made up himself! Tom
