Subject: Lyr Add: KISHMUL'S GALLEY^^
G'Day Animaterra, This is as much of Kishmul's Galley as I can remember. I have done a bit of searching and found that The Corries do a version of it on their album titled Kishmul's Galley (funny that). I can vaguely remember hearing it and it was pretty close to the version I first heard Paul Lawler do about 25 years ago.

I will post this version in the words wanted thread that I started on May 1 in the hope that it will jog someone's memory. Regards Ted

KISHMUL'S GALLEY

High upon the barenock heeya
On the day of days seawards I gaze
Watching Kishmul's galley sailing
A hee ya ho fol-you-oh

(Missing line or 2)
No more no rope
Anchor cable or tackle has he
A hee ya ho fol-you-oh

Then at last 'gainst wind and tide
he's brought her to
Kishmul's castle walls
Kishmul castle of ancient glory
A hee ya ho fol-you-oh

There's red wine
And feast for heroes
And appin too, and sweet sweet appin too
A hee ya ho fol-you-oh
