Subject: Lyr Req: Paris, here I come
At this past Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival, one of the volunteers, Mike Kennedy, sang "Paris here I come" at one of the sessions. In the hustle and bustle of the fest, I didn't get Mike's contact info. He mentioned that he learned it from a tape of the Harry Brownes of Bristol. It's one of those gems that hasn't yet made it into the repertoire of many U.S. chantey singers, I don't think. I couldn't find it in the DT, and wonder if anyone could post the lyrics. Thanks in advance! (or if you know how I can reach Mike Kennedy)
