So, who can help? Who penned this song? First heard it at a
Victoria Folk Music Society camp retreat. The first few lines are...
"There's a little boat, little people on the deck.
They got on their rain gear, they got on their turtle necks...."
So, who wrote it, when and are there any known recordings?
Thanks,Shantyman David
