Subject: RE: Help-Early Dickensian Songs (1807-70)
Hmm, hmm,

I have today been told about a song called "The Gravesend Boat" possibly from my period, about a sild trawler (sild, little fish a bit like sardines) from Gravesend.

Does anyone know the song and can help me with it?

Does anyone know any song about the Gravesend Watermen's Riot?

Can anyone point me to the words and tune (chords would be nice, or even a recording) of Dave Rickard's "Princess Alice"?

I gather the popular tune to "Sam Hall" is Johnny Cash - so can anyone help me with the English tune for it?

Working on it.....
