Celtaddict-

There are many tunes that I've tried with this poem but I kept coming back to "The Old Orange Flute" and finally decided that resistance was futile!

I really don't need another nostalgic CFS poem in my repertoire, but the last verse does give voice to what I believe was a unique romantic episode in her life with the shantyman Dan. And the chorus works well.

I'm not sure if the tune to "Rawhide" works well but feel free to experiment.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
