Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Don't Work for the Baron Line
In reply to SAILOR RON, 05Aug05, No tune to "Baron Line song" but re:
your second request, "My father was a fireman on the Elder Dempster Line" In Harrisons we sang, "My father was a bosun in the Harrison Line", to the tune of Harry Belafonty's "Marrianne" (Can't remember the words now).
Also thanks to GUEST, 30Jan06, for complete lyrics to "Don't Work for the Baron Line". I also sailed in the Glennconner in the late 50's.
The name "Boika" rings a bell. Also sailed in the Baron Minto, early
60's.
