Righto, that's a start. Who said communal composition was dead?
Fair Emma and her One-eyed Sailor
No need to alter first verse.
It's of a comely young lady fair was walking out to take the air
She met a sailor all in her way and so I paid attention, and so I paid attention to hear what they might say.
He said, 'Young lady, why walk alone, the night is coming the day is gone.
She answered him while the tears did fall, 'It's for my sweetheart sailor, it's for my sweetheart sailor has proved my downfall. (We're not calling him one-eyed yet as that can be a later feature) ...................
'Half Nelson' ought to feature somewhere. There's a challenge.
