Found, thanks to Barbara, in another thread... http://www.mudcat.org/Detail.CFM?messages__Message_ID=48366 As sung, and possibly ammended by Tom Lewis. BORNEO (song for Vic) Ken Cockrell Chorus: Oh, not for me the sun brings the morning-o No not for me of patient mind No more for me long hauls down to Borneo For I am old and I am blind

Yet in my mind the vision still is clear Of crows nest days so long ago With both eyes peeled for dangers far and near I hear again the cry: "Sail ho."

They tell me now that ships are twice as long With masts of steel and hulls of iron Just 'cause I'm blind you can't fool me, my lads For they would sink beneath the brine

Now as I sit on foggy ev-en-ings A plaintive siren taunts my ear And minds me when I was sailor lad For that's the sound by which I'd steer

And from my bed November mornings I'd feel the tremble, hear the roar And pray for those in peril on the sea And all my shipmates, gone before.
