Steve - ignore my comment at 01:13 about the chorus; my turn for senility pills! The tune in the DT, with the Sailor's Alphabet chorus is not Colcord's tune (which is the reason I posted the 1st abc above, which is Colcord's tune, and is a Derry Down). At the moment we don't seem to know where the DT tune came from. (And I keep meaning to check the DT lyrics to see that they really are Colcord's lyrics! I'll do that now).
