Subject: Lyr Req: song from Gibson/Hopkins 'Bounty' movie
Hi all,

Last week I bought the Mel Gibson/Anthony Hopkins movie in English (the German version is half an hour shorter, I hate it when they do that to films ;) Well, anyway, during one of the beach scenes in Tahiti the fiddler plays and sings a few lines of a song I really liked, even though it was incomplete - the words I could make out were,

"...to sea, I'll take my pretty girl with me...
...care for me...
(another line I didn't understand)
But, alas, it is the law,
I have to leave her back on shore..."

I did a search for those words and on the Internet, but without success. If anyone of you knows the song, and can direct me to where I can find the complete tune as a midi and/or sheet music, that would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance, Nathali
