Wkaily, What is the name of this fabulous book from the smithsonian that includes this version of Old Jack Sprat the Sailor Man? I learned this version at a chanty sing, and have been looking for it ever since, I'm eternally grateful to Tim Jacques for posting all the words, but your version is the one that I learned, and somehow, original always seems to have it's charms. Anyway, I'd be very interested in seeing if the book is still in print, and if it is avalilible. There should be an isbn number on the back of the book or on the copyright page. If you could include that in any post that replies to this one, it'd be much easier to track the book down. Thanks ahead of time for any answers, Catfeet
