Hi Barry, you posted your Hugill reference while I was working on my above long-winded posting. I must have an old edition of Hugill (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd, second impression (with corrections) 1966) because I can't find your reference on p364. Page 364 in my edition relates to 'Coal Black Rose'. Is there an updated edition that is readily available. It is interesting that the song caught the fancy of mariners and moonshiners alike.

Stewie.
