Subject: RE: Help! - Moby Dick TV series shanty-Blow Boys Blow
Rickard e-mailed me the MP3. I'm going to leave it to you Brits to come up with a transcription, because it's past bedtime for me and Rickard's deadline is Thursday at 1500 hrs, Swedish time. I can't under stand anything more than "Blow Boys Blow," and the melody isn't familiar to me.
Give it your best shot, willya?

Rickard, could one line be "cast the spear"?
Oh, and "churning tide," maybe?
"the old fish now will surely die"?
