Schantieman | Lyr Req: Manchester Rambler (adapted from MacColl) (52* d) | RE: 'the manchester rambler' revisited | 05 Dec 08 |
The Rounding of the Horn aka The Gallant Frigate Amphitrite is not and never has been a shanty. It was possibly a forebitter or, perhaps more likely a shoreside song. It was collected in 1906 (ish - I can't find my copy of The Singing Book of English Penguins at the moment) in Southport from an old sailor, William Bolton. |
