Thread Name: Tune Req: The Sailor's Will and His Power
Subject: Tune Req: The Sailor's Will and His Power
"The Sailor's Will and His Power" is given as the tune for an "Australian convict" ballad - "The Convicts' DEparture". But extensive searching has failed to turn up a score for this tune! The original lyrics start: "Earling one morn(ing) a jolly brisk tar." I believe that sometimes this line is used as the songs title.
Can anyone help in tracing the music?
