Subject: RE: Sail Away Ladies/Dn't you rock me, daddy
To cite some of the Mudcat references to this song that I've found, the Digital Tradition example of Sail Away, Ladies can be found by clicking on @displaysong.cfm?SongID=5126

In 1998 Wolfgang shared the lyrics he found to the song Sally Anne which includes the chorus Sail Away, Ladies : thread.cfm?threadid=10199#69057 Lyr Req: Sally Ann (tune: Sail Away Ladies).


A fragment of "Sail Away, Ladies, is found in this 30 Mar 01 - 07:52 PM post by CRANKY YANKEE thread.cfm?threadid=32569#429670 .

The pertinent excerpt of that post is "The chorus to "Sail away Ladies Sail Away" is, DON'T SHE ROCK, DADDY OH, DON;T SHE ROCK DADDY OH, DON;T SHE ROCK DADDY OH, DON'T SHE ROCK DADDY OH. The chanteyman sings, "Don't she Rock?" and the sailors respond with, "Daddy oh" It's one of my favorites."

And in 2003 Bee-dubya-ell posted another verse to that song in this thread: thread.cfm?threadid=64643#1061599 RE: Songs about INCEST. {though I'm not sure that that particular verse is actually about incest}...
