Thread Name: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems (PermaThread)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems (Part 2)
Here's the chorus Danny and Joyce prefer, rather than the one sung by The Keelers ( a group that Danny is a part of as well):

Chorus:

C----------Am------------Dm
All coiled down, an' it's time for us to go;
G------------G7---------F--------------C
Every sail's furled in a NEAT harbour stow;
--------------------Am--------Dm
Another ship for us, an' for her another crew –
----G---------G7---------F----------G-C
An' so long, sailorman, good luck to you!

Danny, at his Mystic Songs of the Sea Festival workshop, showed me his copy of C. Fox Smith's handwritten manuscript of sea poems and promised to send me a copy; there's sure to be some sea poems that she didn't publish or are unavailable because none of us can find them books. I had heard of this manuscript when I was talking to the manager of All at Sea Books in Sydney, Australia, and he mentioned that Danny had purchased it from him some two weeks before; you'll likely find Danny's tracks everywhere before you if you're actively searching. If you do turn up something special PM me, and I'll provide you with Danny's e-mail address so you can bring him up to date.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
