Thread Name: Lyr Req: Orpheus + Captain Matheson (chanteys)
Subject: Help with words for
I have an old tape called

"Sea Shanties: From Dublin to Auckland / Chants de Marins: De l'Irlande au Pacifique"

It seems to be of a shanty group called the Spirit Boys from New Zealand.

There are two songs on in it by Rudy Sunde that I would like to learn but can't decipher the words for.

One of them is named ORPHEUS. The other is CAPTAIN MATHESON.

Does anyone from down under know these songs, or know where I can find their words? (Guitar chords would be nice too.)
