Subject: RE: Tune Add: THE GLENDY BURK
Dicho, it's not polished; the change seems to be "Burke" only. Here it is (one stanza may be enough).

THE GLENDY BURKE (Morrison version)

De Glendy Burke is a mighty fast boat,
Wid a mighty fast captain, too;
He sits up dah on de hurricane roof
And he keeps his eye on de crew.
I can't stay here, for de work's too hard;
I'm bound to leave dis town;
I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
When de Glendy Burke comes down.

CHORUS: Ho! for Lou'siana!
I'm bound to leave dis town;
I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
When de Glendy Burke comes down.
