Hi Folks
It a great fun song to sing with Mandolin.   
evrytime Nancy Lee appears on Mudcat I learn a new verse which I have never heard before.

Here is a verse so far not mentioned


The owners of the ship
They telegraphed the crew.
They said "please do the best that you can do.
The ships only insured for half a Crown       ( Old English curency
And we will be outs of pocket if the ship goes down.
Regards Pierre
