Here's a couple lines from a song sung by Oliver Jenness of York Maine to Helen Flanders

Peter Jones was a Schenectady boy and a lad both brave and bold
He shipped before the mast on the Erie Canal to sail the waters cold

He goes on to run off with the captain's daughter. The captain "swears a big three story oath" and crowns Peter with the anchor..!

Anyone know this song or anything about it? I'm trying to fill gaps in the lyrics

thanks
Julia
