Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bucketmouth/Bucket Mouth McGinty/McGuinty
Subject: Throw the cargo overboard save ' alcohol
I'm desperately searching for lyrics. My grandfather used to sing this little song for my Father. My grandfather died when I was six months old. My father is turning 50 on the 28th. He has lost the lyrics to this song. What I know goes something like this...

Ol' Bucket Mouth McGinty (name may be wrong) he was quite a drinkin man... Captain of the steamer they called him Peter Pan... When ol mac was loaded you could hear him call... Save the women save the kids and save the alcohol!

Before ol mac would leave the port he'd call his crew aside... as he gave each man his orders his chest would swell with pride... then as he'd dismiss him he'd tell them one and all... throw the cargo overboard, but save the alcohol!

CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THE CORRECT LYRICS? I would be forever grateful.
