Thread Name: Lyr Add: Abraham Brown the Sailor (from Bodleian)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Abraham Brown The Sailor
If Abraham Brown turned into Barnacle Bill, as seems likely, then there may be two tunes, one for the question, 'Who's that knocking at the door' and one for the answer 'Only me from over the sea, It's Barnacle Bill the Sailor', which in current use are quite different.
