Rocket Ron R Lyr Req: Tugboats (Bob Bossin) (8) Lyr: She's a jackpot tug, her hull is wood 02 Aug 97


Years ago I used to see a small group called the Stringband in coffeehouses in Southern Ontario. The only member whose name I remember is Marie Lynn Hammond, who went on to have a solo career. They sang a song called, I think, Georgia Strait, which went somewhat like this:

She's a jackpot tug and her hull is wood
The runs are short and the coffee's good
She don't make the news like the Sudbury
But she's all right by the mate and the skipper and me

I had a recording of this on one of their albums (I once owned the lot), but it hath gone the way of all vinyl. I would really appreciate the full lyrics and music/chords for this, as it is a craicing banjo tune.

Ta, R.
