Thread Name: Lyr Add: Haul on the Bowline (#3)
Subject: RE: Add Lyr. 'Haul on the Bowline' (#3)
Hi Joe, it's not the same as "Haul Away For Rosie", similar lines but different tunes. This Haul on the Bowline has a grand chorus at the end (Ch: the bowline, the bowline you cannot tie a bowline, haul on the bowline, the bowline haul). Sorry Joe that I can't do tunes.

Matt, that also means I haven't the slightest clue as to how to send any form of music by e-mail, though I'll e-mail you just the same if only to say hi.

Maybe this might help, the first line (so long me boys you've been to sea) goes up, I think, a half step, with each word & the second line ( you cannot tie a bowline) goes down a half step. I can't explain the rest, I hope that makes some sense. Barry
