Subject: Lyr Req: Shiny-O or Shiney-O
Looking for additional/other words for Shiny-O

this is what I have

Captain, captain, you are a dandy
    Way, shiny-o
Captain, captain,you love your brandy
    Way, shiny-o

Won't you ferry me over to Dover
Won't you ferry me over to Dover

Queenstown to Dover is a hundred miles or over X2

Captain, captain, how deep is the water
It measures one inch six feet and a quarter

Captain, captain, I love your daughter X2

Shiny-o she's the captain's daughter
for her I'd sail across this water

Hens and chickens are flying over
When she pitches, she pitches into Dover
