I picked up an old (no date - probably 1930's) booklet called Walton's "181 Best International Songs". It includes the following:

WRAP ME UP IN MY TARPAULIN JACKET

Wrap me up in my tarpaulin jacket
To speed an old buffer below
But six jolly sailormen bear me
With a step sober, measured and slow

Then get six jolly loyal fore top men
With a rollicking royal yo ho
To drink down a six gallon grog, sir
To the health of the buffer below

Then two white holly tablets obtain, sir,
At my head and my feet to bestow
And chisel upon them this line sir
To the jolly old buffer below!

Any one seen/heard it before? I looks like a glee club number - but the connection back to The Unfortunate Rake and, maybe, forward to Fiddler's Green is curious. Anyone got a tune?

Regards
