I came in here looking fer Rum Sea Shanties and Women, and all I found wer talking about Aussie shanties. Yeah I got me chain jerked, annealed and re-rove about. Where is the booze and women? Scads and Scads of songs sung, but written? yer mean other than Dana, sailors can write? Blow me down in an Irish hurricane mate, I never ne'wed they wuz written. Watch out fer the copyright police; if they come I wrote the lot....Yours,Aye. Dave
