I'm looking for the verses and melody ( and if some one has a set of guitar chords to offer I won't refuse) for the above named song. I heard it once on a folk show in Santa Cruz and was so charmed by the story and chorus that the chorus has stuck to me since.

We'll see you in France or we'll see you in heaven Cried Trbo and Samuelson out on the bay. Two hearty young oystermen after adventure And no one believed they could row all the way.

The verses tell how the afore mentioned young oystermen catch wind of a newspaper sponsored contest, I believe in Boston, but some other Eastern seaboard city might be the true locale. A large cash prize is offered to the first two men to row across the Atlantic to France. The story is a classic underdogs success through grit and hard sweat, with dramatic near drownings in mid Atlantic, and a fortuitous meeting with a Norwegian freighter. (Oh yeah, I forot tomention that our heroes are Norwegian.) Either the last or next tolast verse recounts how they get to Ireland and could like any sensible people stop there, and claim the prize anyway. Of course these guys aren't going to wuss out like that, "and just two weeks later they were down at Le Havre", or something like that.

I have no idea who the singer was, though the voice was powerful enough to be Stan Rogers. Can you help me out?

Much obliged,

The Reverend Slow Motion
