Subject: I've been a seacook and I've been a sailorman
I would like to have the works for a sea shanty which goes something like this.

I've been a seacook and I've been a sailorman
I can sing, I can dance, I can haul the main boom
I can handle a harpoon and cut a fine figure
?
Chorus
And we'll sing and we'll dance now
Like true born young sailormen
We'll sing and we'll dance on deck and below
Until we sight Wasco? beyond ???
And straight up the channel to Wasco? we'll go.

I would really appreciate any help in finding the correct words for this song,

thanks,

Ian
