Hi Malcom, I transcribed it by ear. Our family sings a shorter, less graphic version, called Down by the Royal Albion and a slight variant of the one on the DT. I've probably goofed up a bit but I still don't know how to link things and I started an earlier discussion under the heading Streets of Laredo and was going to post the lyrics there, but thought more people might be able to help with my word problem if I put it out directly in the forum.
