Wayne Mitchell Which Black Ball line? (21) RE: Which Black Ball line? 27 Oct 05


The Black Ball Line has the attractive name (as in "attractive nuisance"), so it may sometimes get the credit due to others. Judy Collins' version of Bullgine has...

Oh the smartest clipper you could find
    (Heave away, haul away)
Is the Margaret Evans of the Black Ball Line
    (Clear away the track and let the bullgine run)

Other versions, perhaps truer to the original, cite the ship as the Margot Evans of the Blue Cross or Blue Star Line.
