Hi

This is a song recorded by the Clancys and Tommy Makem. It's about a boat journey down the Lagan from Belfast to Portadown. I have most of the lyrics but some I simply cannot catch, (and I speak fluent Belfast, having lived there most of my life before moving to sunny Australia, which I have to say isn't very sunny at this present moment in time!!)

I need one word in the first line-

"Come all you ? sail-y-ors and listen to my song."

and in the last verse-

"There was a farmer standing there and he threw us the end of his ..............? (sound like galoshes, but that's not a word we use in Belfast very often seeing as we wear wellies!), and he pulled it all ashore."

Can anyone help?

Slainte
