GUEST,Trish DTStudy: Jack Was Every Inch a Sailor (55* d) RE: DTStudy: Jack Was Every Inch a Sailor 20 Jul 14

To EBarnacle

I'd love to know all the words to that ditty too. My Dad used to say it along with a few others. I can fill you in a bit more and would love someone to find the rest. Here's Da's version:
    When Uncle Jack was 56 he ran away to sea
    The first night out the Captain said
    "We have no milk for tea
    Who'll go ashore?"
    " I" said Jack, "I never act the goat"
    So while the sea rolled mountains high
    He set out in a boat
    ......
    And Jack's brave mother's son
    Cut holes about to let it run out
    And his day' s work was done.
