Thread Name: Who sings about tugboats?
Subject: RE: Who sings about tugboats?
I have a song about tugboats. Oh there are some good ones. Once we make the salmon c.d. I want to make a tugboat c.d. with only tugboat songs.

Here are the lyrics to mine:

Here the foghorn moaning
The tugboat

The tugboat chains are groaning
A land to be alone in
Where they cut the tall trees down

I don't know where they're going
The logs that they are towing
The river's overflowing
With tall trees they cut down

From the mountains to the coast here
How they would brag and boast here
The river's full of ghosts here
Who cut the tall trees down

There is a very good song in the back of my head about tugboats..and there was someone at Fisher Poets rom B.C. who had worked on them

And surely someone has done something about either Mrs. Annie?? Fossan, who started the Foss Tugboat company and Tugboat Annie was not based on her, but inspired by her.
