Thread Name: Lyr Req: Mistress Moore Married to a Sailor
Subject: ADD: Mistress Moore Married to a Sailor
Amazon calls it Mistress Moore Married to a Sailor, and it's available for download (for a fee). Tune sounds very close to "Bobby Shaftoe." Here are the lyrics, as I hear them - same as above, but with a nonsense chorus.
-Joe-
MISTRESS MOORE MARRIED TO A SAILOR
Mistress Moore lives on the shore
She has daughters three and four
Eldest one is twenty-four
Married to a sailor
CHORUS
Baloo, Baloo, Baloo, Bee,
Baloo, Baloo, Baloo, Bee,
Baloo, Baloo, Baloo, Bee,
Married to a sailor
When the sailor comes ashore
How they rattle
How they roar
Happy then is Mistress Moore
Married to a sailor
CHORUS
Mistress Moore lives on the shore
She has daughters three and four
Eldest one is twenty-four
Married to a sailor
CHORUS
