MARINER Is it permissible-to change a word in an old song? (164* d) RE: Is it permissible-to change a word in an old song? 10 Aug 10


Thanks folks, from now on I will give Captain Erickson his proper nationality .To answer Suibhne Astray it wasn't the Mexico he referred to .This Mexico was lost on the Keeraghs Rocks off the Wexford coast on the 20th of February 1914. I think the song also has her port of departure wrong as well. The song says she came from Lithuania, bound for Liverpool but I think she came from the States
Thank you Guest above. On reflection I think it was a fairly good recovery ,but I didn't think so at the time !.However, I didn't feel so bad when some other singers really cocked it up two days after .Guess it was that Feakle beer.
