Thread Name: Shackleton Antarctic Expedition: Songs?
Subject: RE: Shackleton Antarctic Expedition: Songs?
From the book "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing.
'...Then,to give vent to his rage,Marston(the official artist)began to sing.He sang one song,then waited,and then another.Finally he repeated over and over in a tired thin voice, a song whose chorus went:
'Twankedillo,Twankedillo,
And a roaring pair of bagpipies
Made from the green willow.'
Anyone know it.It was sung on the Endurance.
