Subject: Lyr Req: Come Roll Me Over
Hi
I'm trying to get all the words for this short-haul shanty. These are the words I have (from a Keelers cd) but can anyone fill in the gaps?

Oh ho why don't you blow
Hi ho come roll me over

1 man to hoist the flag (hi ho come roll me over) x2
2 men to man the wheel (''''')
3 men t'gallant braces
4 men to board the tack
5 men to heave the lead
6 men to furl the gansail
7 men to ?bunt the ?bow

oh ho why don't you blow etc

I know what bunt lines are - does it mean attaching one to the bow? Or do I just have the words wrong? Any other mistakes?

Many thanks
Barb'ry
