I've now adapted Bill Adams's "Bound Away" for singing and initiated a new thread for that song with a link back to this thread. It's probably better to do that in terms of focusing attention on these old sailor-poets, than to post adaptations here.

Here's a link back to this adaptation: click here for thread!

And here's a MP3 sample of how it sounds: click and go to MP3 sample

Cheerily,
