Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Worst Old Ship/Collier Brig
Someone left a tape at our house years ago (late '60s/early'70s with this song on it. The singer (who shall remain nameless unless she wants to jump in) sang the third verse as: "The captain's half Dutch and the mate's a Jew...". And she had one other verse:

"There's nothing in the galley, nothing in the hold,

The skipper's turned in with a bag of gold."
