Thread Name: Lyric Correction: Henry Martin
Subject: RE: Henry Martin Again
Edmund, I think I figured it out on Henry Martin. I thinksome lines are mixed up in the 7th & 8th verses. I think it should go like this, "With broadside and broadside and at it they went for fully two hours or three, Till Henry Martin gave to her the death shot, the death shot,the death shot. Heavely listing to starboard went she. The rich merchant vessel was wounded full score, Straight to the bottom went she, And Henry Martin sailed away, sailed away, sailed away, On the salt sea,salt sea, salt sea. Try this way, I think you will like it. *LOL*
