NIGEL SELLARS | Lyr Req: Cruel Sea Captain? / Cruel Ship's Captain (5) | RE: Search for | 04 Dec 96 |
I suspect this is the English song about the cruel captain who killed a young boy and is condemned for it. If so, then it is also the basis for Britten's opera "Peter Grimes." I seem to recall the song is in _The Penguin Book of English Folksongs_ edited by Ralph Vaughan Williams and A.L. Lloyd |
