Of course, one could also review Hugill's notes about these two shanties but that would require reaching a foot or two across my desk to the bookshelf. It's too hot!

Oh, and "The Wild Goose Shanty" (there are several by that name) I was referring to above is the one that begins:

Have you ever seen a wild goose flying o'er the ocean?
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey!
They're just like them young girls when they take a notion --
Ranzo, Ranzo, way-hey!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
