Thread Name: Origins: The Chivalrous Shark (Wallace Irwin-1904)
Subject: RE: Correction: The Chivalrous Shark
A long time ago I got the words from somewhere, without the tune. Well, nothing for it but to "write" my own tune, which I did, and I've been singing it that way for lo, these many years.
Not surprisingly, I suppose, I like my own tune better than that I just listened to from the DT. Oh, well. Of such is the folk tradition made.
