You're a good man Joe. Another of "Old Put's" songs, set to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel" is "A Ripping Trip" (from "Put's Golden Songster" 2nd edition 1858), you'll find it in the DT. again it's about the a steamer used to take 49ers' from Panama to San Frrancisco. Dick Holdstock & Tom Murphy recorded this on their "San Francisco Shanties", along with another of Put's "Coming Around The Horn". Barry
