sadie damascus	Penguin: Banks Of Green Willow (67* d)	RE: Penguin: Banks Of Green Willow	30 Oct 03
I've lost it now, but thirty minutes ago I visited a page whose version of this song had the sailors draw lots with "black bullets", or at least that's what I think they were doing. For years I have thought I had once heard a version in which they threw a "black bullock" overboard before throwing the maiden. Now I realize it was this version I must have heard. Despite following every link I can find, now, I cannot seem to return to that "black bullet" version. It was the sort of page that does not lend itself to being copy-and-pasted. Anybody? How would these bullets be used? Sadie Damascus
