Thread Name: ADD: Alabama John Cherokee
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Alabama John Cherokee
Sorry, Q. "John Cherokee" is on pp. 438-39 of Hugill's "Shanties from the Seven Seas" (1961). The version given at the Mariners Museum site replaces Hugill's repeated "With a hauley high, an' a hauley low !" with Colcord's "Way ay yah," but otherwise the lyrics are Hugill's.
