Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sally Brown (from Stanley Slade)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Slade's Sally Brown
Charley, Hugill does say that. But Roberto's accurately transcribed what Slade sings on the recording, which, fortunately, is very
clear. : )
Curiously, many of Slade's lyrics are IDENTICAL to those published in Davis & Tozier's "Sailors' Songs or Shanties" back in 1888 or so.
He may have had to refresh his memory by 1942!
