Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lighterman's Lass? / Limehouse Reach
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lightermans Lass - Limehouse Reach
It's entirely possible that someone has composed another verse; it is a rather short song. I've thought about adding another verse but I'm reluctant to mess this time with something that seems so complete. I do repeat the last line as a refrain all the way through, and I've done away with "lighterman" which is hard to sing as well as understand when it is sung; instead I've substituted "keelboat lad."

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
