GUEST,crumpled Origins: good ship ragamuffin? / Captain Nipper (37) RE: Origins: good ship ragamuffin? / Captain Nipper 29 Apr 16

Let's not forget a second song with a "good ship Ragamuffin" in it: the well-known one taking "old Mick with his shovel and his pick/ To the shores of Botany Bay" (or "Americay"). It was known in the 1890s.

As spoken by Lighter GUEST a few years ago.

Any more info? - I'm trying to chase this song which has no version I can find online - just some chorus snippets from the early 20th Century.

And yes, I know the Australian version which so many have copied.
