GUEST,Jane Bird Lyr Req: Our Captain Cried All Hands (20) RE: Req: Lyrics & unknown title: Capt Cried All Hands 24 Jan 03


Our Captain calls all hand aboard tomorrow
Leaving your dearest dears in grief and sorrow
Wipe up those briny tears and leave off weeping
How happy shall we be at our next meeting

1st verse of "Our Captain Calls", sung by Mrs Cranstone, Billingshurst, Sussex, July 1907; from, ed Michael Dawney, The Ploughboy's Glory: a selection of hitherto unpublished folk songs collected by George Butterworth, (EFFDS: London, 1977).

Cheers,
Jane
