Subject: Lyr Req: Bold 'somebody'
There are atleast two versions of the song I'm thinking of, one is quite bawdy. It involves a woman who goes to seek her betrothed at sea and she disguises herself as a man. When she is discovered, she tells the Captain who she is looking for. The Captain explains that her man is now courting another and if she will be at a certain place the next morning, she can see his unfaithfulness for herself. She does as instructed, then calls for the Captain's pistol, and shoots her false lover.
What is the name of this song? I believe it's Bold so-and-so.
Thanks in advance for the help!
