What part of the song made you think it must be old? You remember any other words in the song? What tells you it is English? Maybe "Handsome Cabin Boy"? Just guessing until we have more information. |

16 Sep 12 - 07:45 PM (#3405865) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sea apprentice bound or boy ,,,,,altan From: Mick Pearce (MCP) maeve Altan's lyrics are here: Sea Apprentice Boy. Roud gives three versions of The Sea Apprentice (Roud 1671), one from Len Graham's book about Joe Holmes: Joe Holmes - here I am amongst you, has words and tune; one a recording or Roisin White on a Veteran recording VT126 (The First of my Rambles); and the last in the Sam Henry Collection edited by Gale Huntinton - Songs of the People, which also has the tune. I imagine Jim Carroll or Martin Ryan may be able to supply you with the tune from those sources (assuming the Altan version is the same!). Mick |

16 Sep 12 - 07:55 PM (#3405871) Subject: ADD: The Sea Apprentice Boy From: maeve Great work, Noreen and Mick, Thank you! I'll let Skarpi know you've solved the puzzle. From Mick Pearce's link ( http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/altan/the_seaapprentice_boy-lyrics-1195756.html ) The Sea-apprentice Boy sung by Altan - Album: The Blue Idol THE SEA APPRENTICE BOY When first I went a sea-apprentice bound I sailed the salt seas all 'round and 'round I scarce had sailed a voyage but one When I fell in love with my charming Anne I went to my captain both stout and bold And unto him my secret told I love yon lass as I love my life What would I give if she were my wife? Well, the captain said, "You're a foolish boy For to court a girl that you'll ne'er enjoy For she'll have lovers while you're at sea And she'll be married e're you'll be free" Well, I don't know but I'll go and try For she might fancy an apprentice boy And she might alter her mind for me And wait on me until I be free Well, I bought her ribbons, I bought her gloves These things to prove of a heart that loves She accepted all and she was not shy And she vowed to wait for her apprentice boy When my ship is anchored and my work is over I'll steer my barque for sweet Erin's shore In my native country, my love I'll enjoy And she'll welcome home her apprentice boy So come all you sea-apprentices where e'er you be Never slight your true love while you're at sea Just love her as you love your life And she'll consent to become your wife |
