Earlier in this thread, Richard Mellish quoted the second verse of Cyril Tawney's rendition of 'Lady Franklin's Lament', presumably taken from his cassette album 'Sailor's Delight'. This is identical to the second verse of 'Franklin's Crew' in Joanna C. Colcord's 'Songs of American Sailormen' (1938). I would would like to establish whether Tawney sang that variant or simply added the verse to the ubiquitous 'Lord Franklin' to make it more intelligible. Would anyone having this cassette be prepared to discuss this issue with me here?
