I've always been uncomfortable singing Barrette's Privateers. Now I got some alternatives that will allow me to sing that lovely tune. Thanks everyone. And to those who think I shouldn't change Stan's work, because it is true to life (sailors talk like that, and would use those words): Just picutre me with my tounge out, my thumbs in my ears, and fingers like moose antlers. Maybe a little plubbubutbtbtbt too.
I sing personal songs of my own, and if I happen to sing a song I call Barrette's Privateers that sounds suspiciously like a song Stan Rogers wrote that he called Barrette's Privateers, it is all coincidence.
