Dustin Laurence Lyr Req: Master and Man (Ben Hecht) (10) Trying to ID a sea song 28 Jan 03


I was asked about a song apparently too obscure for me, but I
know nothing is too obscure for Mudcat:

    "Wonder if you can help me: looking for a sea song I saw during
    a Seattle visit to a "Titanic" artifacts exibit. May have been
    to the tune of an older shanty; started with " The Captain stood
    where the Captain should, for the law of the sea is grim, the
    owner fled with the women, for no law bothered him," Had the
    words at one time, but being old and forgetful seem to have
    lost them. Can you help me out, from an old sailor to another?
    Greatly appreciated."

So, does anyone recognize this? I didn't get any mudcat or digitrad
hits.

Dustin
