Subject: RE: Traditional songs re. homosexuality
Pentangle recorded a version of the Handsome Cabin Boy which (from memory)contained the lines 'One night upon the raging sea as we were going to bed, the captain said farewell my dear, I wish you were a maid. For your rosy cheeks and your ruby lips they are enticing me, and I wish dear God with all my heart a maid you were to me.' Sounds a bit what my mother in law used to call biosexual to me.
