Thread Name: Origins: Song of the Jolly Roger(Chudleigh Candish
Subject: Origins: Up with the Jolly Roger Boys
Hi, we had a midsummer BBQ at the weekend, and, in conversation with a neighbour he wanted the words and name of the composer of a song he learned at school in the UK. I sounds sort of Gilbert & Sullivan to me but if anyone can help We would be grateful!
words:
"Up with the Jolly Roger boys and off to sea we go
There's lot of fun when the day's begun and the wind is on the lea
Blow High, Blow Low and its off to sea we go
There's a ship from spain that's accross the main
We bold buccaneers must go"
...............Or words to that effect!

Cheers in anticipation,
Lucy
