Hello everybody I am so pleased to have found this discussion group. I've just been out walking the dog, singing away to myself all the old songs I could remember from Primary School (almost 30 years ago!). Can anyone help with this one - it starts off "T'was the 15th of September, how well I do remember I nearly broke my poor old mother's heart. For I shipped with Captain Nipper on a good 4-masted clipper Bound to far away and foreign parts. And the wind began to blow and the ship began to roll And a devil of a hurricane did blow, aye-aye-oh, It nearly knocked the stuffin' from the Good Ship Ragamuffin And we thought that to the bottom we should go...." I can't remember the other verses but I remember us giving a rousing 'Aye-aye-oh' when we got to that bit in our tiny country school, with the Master playing along on a tinny old piano! Am I being daft or has anyone scanned in the front covers of the old Singing Together books? I can't find that page, so would be grateful if someone could post it.... Many thanks Laura
