Subject: Lyrics required: The Capstan Bar
Hello, everybody!
Anyone have lyrics to a sea shanty called THE CAPSTAN BAR?
There's no reference to it in the digital tradition database.
The first line of the shanty is: Walk her round for we're rolling homeward
One of the other lines is: Heave her, or we'll strand her
I've heard a version sung by the group SALT OF THE EARTH with only three verses. I'm getting tired of singing those three verses over and over again.
Regards, radriano
