Thread Name: Lyr Req: the handsome cabin boy, any ideas?
Subject: RE: the handsome cabin boy, any ideas?
OK, now this has me wondering- the "Handsome Cabin Boy that we have in the database is DT #445, Laws N13. We have only one example of this song in the database, although I suspect we have had other versions posted in the forum.
The song Jeri refers to, Short Jacket and White Trousers, is DT #444, Laws N14. A search for #444 brings up three songs (click). Aren't they the same song, or what's the difference? Why don't they have the same numbers?
Bruce? Please to explain.
