I'm trying to find a recorded version of a song I've heard sung live. It's sung at a fast tempo, so the words are hard to decipher but I think some of them are as follows : - "And the wind began to blow, and the ship began to roll, and the devil of a hurricane did blow, hi, ho. It nearly knocked the stuffing from the good ship Ragamuffin, and down to the bottom, she shall go." P.S. It's not a variation on 'Botany Bay', which also mentions 'The Good Ship Ragamuffin'. As the melody and clearly the words, are very different.
