Subject: Lyr Add: NANCY JANE? / WRECKING CREW? From: Kernow John Date: 18 Apr 01 - 07:04 PM In an earlier thread I asked if anyone knew of this song, I've managed to decipher the words from an old reel to reel recording, but know nothing about it.
The village I live in has well documented evidence of a local wrecking crew and our coast is littered with numerous wrecks.
Nancy Jane or Wrecking Crew? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add Nancy Jane/Wrecking Crew inforeq From: Charley Noble Date: 18 Apr 01 - 07:24 PM Thanks for posting this; I haven't run across it before.

I'm not convinced it's traditional but there are not a lot of "wreaking" or "salvage" songs out there that I'm aware of.

You can listen to it here. The lyrics match pretty closely to the originals posted by Kernow John and Charley Noble's amendments, except that this recording this recording calls the captain brave McKay. Attempted clarification by Joe Offer: "Wrecking Crew', recorded by Chapter Three on the album Ramble Away: https://youtu.be/7MZNikrB3zU?t=1819 |
