CALL JOHN THE BOATMAN (from the singing of Patrick Tayluer) (Doerflinger - 'Songs of the Sailor and Lumberman' - p 173) Call John the boat-man, call, call a-gain. For loud roars the remp-est and fast falls the rain. John-ny is a good man, he sleeps so ver-y sound, His oars are at rest and his boat is a-ground Red rolls the riv-er, so ra-pid and so deep; Well the loud-er you call him, the fast-er he'll sleep!
