I've transcribed what Martin Carthy sings as Ship in Distress on the CD Straws in the Wind - and all the other songs. But one line defeats me. Martin Carthy points out in the notes that all the songs but one are taken from the Penguin Book of English Folk Songs, but in this song one line is different from the one in the book. Where the Penguin version has "For fourteen days, heartsore and hungry,/Seeing but wild water and bitter sky", MC sings something that sounds to me like "For fourteen days heartsore and hungry/There are no backdoors you can run and hide" which doesn't seem very likely to be correct. I'd be very grateful for any suggestion.
