Song Dog Lyric Correction: Henry Martin (8) RE: Henry Martin Again 22 Apr 00


Edmund, you are right on your second statement. It is supposed to be; " Brail up your mizzen." Iv'e been singing this one for many years and all my song books on "Henry Martin" support this. On your third part, it is ;"salt sea. It goes; " For I have turned robber all on the salt sea,the salt sea, the salt sea. For to maintain my two brothers and me." You are right about the words not fitting the rythem, but if you sing the words; "the salt" as one word it will fit better. try it .
