Ossonflags is working on the song for our next album. He's using 2 different tunes. The chorus tune is obviously 'Roll along covered wagon' and I've given him the original sheet music from the 20s, but he's putting the verse tune to an old Scottish song sung by an old mate of ours Jock Manuel, called The Gallant Forty-twa'. Is this the same tune as 'Nicky Tams'? It certainly fits well enough.

I've suggested we keep the changing chorus for the album track but to stick to one chorus for gigs.

I'd like to post the tune for Skint in Glasgow, or Baron Line. It's the strong tune sung years ago in the Queen Vic Sailors' Rest tears ago on pub carry outs. I'm hoping to gather enough fragments to post it on a sea song site. I can't quite see how to post an audio or a video. I tried to create a link but the email site asks doesn't accept any of my passwords for my email account. I'll watch this site for a few days.

Nice to see this thread revived. This is the kind of fun we used to have here on this forum.

Cheerily,
