Subject: RE: Help: Capital Ship's 'boxing glove'?!?!
By sheer coincidence I bought a book for 50p today that had the song text in it. The book is dated 1928, published by The Co-operative Holiday Association. The cover says 'Summer Holidays in The Lake District, Programme, Songs &C'. No. 83 is 'A Capital Ship'. I have another edition from 1929 titled 'Summer Holidays at Whitby'. This has mostly the same songs with about 10 changed for similar songs from the likes of Lucy Broadwood's 'English County Songs'.
