Subject: Funny boat songs
Hi folks. I'm fairly new but I enjoy reading the threads here.
I'm a sailor/musician from Toronto Canada. I'm currently working on a new CD of comedy type folk songs and parody's about boating.
Does anyone know of any that might be of interest to boaters,


Here is an example for what I'm looking for=


The Wild Sailor (parody of the Wild Rover) by Ed Bulmer

I've been a wild sailor for many a year
I've spent all my money on boat gear and beer
And now I'm returning, I'm sunburned and sore
I never will be a wild sailor no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I be a wild sailor
No, never, no more

I've sailed through rough waters till I turned black and blue
And lived many months eating from cans of stew
I've been dismasted, I've torn all my sails
Been hit by the boom and collided with whales

Chorus-And it's...

As I head to the Gulf stream I ask if I'm sane
If I make it alive, I won't do this again!
I'll send a note home to my family today
And tell them I'm selling my boat on Ebay.
