Thread Name: Lyr Req: Peter Bellamy's Barbaree
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peter Bellamy's Barbaree
The version in the DT named "Barbaree" is quite similar, but not exactly what Bellamy sings. I see that the last line should be: Yes, we tied them up by dozens and we chucked (not topped, as I had writen down) them in the sea. Peter Bellamy does not sing: Hail, hail, that lofty tall ship. I can't understand what he says befora "hail". Etc. So, what I am looking for is somebody that will patiently listen to the actual recording, to find out the actual words that Bellamy sings. I like very much the way he sings, but his pronunciation is not always clear to me. Roberto
