GUEST,michele History of Benjamin Bowmaneer (26) RE: History of Benjamin Bowmaneer 10 Mar 03

from the revival ( 70's ) this was sung by Suffolk singers eg John Goodluck ( Trunkles ) et al. I heard them a lot, since the practised in our house. I guess I always took this to be a song about sailing away to war..., like lots of shanties, it has that rhythym & seems to fit our local accent... but thats just a gut feeling withno justification in research.
