Another fine song from Sailor with Banjo:
But you'll only get one verse at a time in exchange for more direct feedback about initial inquiry.
THE RODENT MARINER
(By Hamish MacLaren, Sailor with Banjo, © 1930 Lyrics adapted by Charlie Ipcar Tune adapted from: Blow the Candle Out)
We are the rodent ma-ri-ne-ers,(1)
As nobody needs be told,
For there's no mis-taking our nau-ti-cal airs,
Our rolling eyes so bold;
There's never a ship leaves English ground,
From Liverpool Docks to Plymouth Sound,
For Frisco Bay or Bombay bound,
But we have free run of her hold!
