Subject: "Finest you ever saw" - canal boat song
can anybody give me the words to this fine song?

I have heard it sung by the musician of Redbornstoke Morris Men its brilliant. They hail from Bedfordshire and are fine group of lads!

It's all about going up the Union, Birmingham and Manchester canals in 47 days.

I'd love to sing it myself as I live on the banks of the Severn/Thames canal (disused).So thers water in my blood
