Barrie-

It will be a miracle if someone comes up with the verses to this song. You just have to kick yourself for not writing them down when you had the chance, or keeping track of them for 40 years if you had!

My suggestion is for you to consume quanities of alcoholic fluids and try to reconstruct the verses from whatever rises to the surface of your mind. If you were in the neighborhood I'd start you out with the first round.

I think this was probably a wonderful song that would fill a gap in the merchant marine repertoire. Too many of these songs have been lost, and lost forever.
