Subject: Lyr Req: Mike Cross sea shanty From: Pogo Date: 06 May 05 - 05:52 PM Only thing I can remember about it is " And now where's me boots? Me noggin-oggin boots? I traded 'em for beer and tobacco. Oh I spent all me tin on the ladies drinking gin. Be sailin' in the morning when the wind blows " I have no idea if it is a traditional song Mike Cross jazzed up or if it was one he wrote himself but I can't seem to find the lyrics anywhere. Thank you in advance for the help! {O) |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mike Cross sea shanty From: Peace Date: 06 May 05 - 06:37 PM http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:LQAsRGEeURwJ:www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/all_for_me_grog.html+%22All+for+me+grog%22&hl I looked and couldn't find it in the DT. Probably something I'm doin' wrong. However, to add to Barry's post, the link above takes you to a version also. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mike Cross sea shanty From: Snuffy Date: 06 May 05 - 06:48 PM A very variable song (and title). These versions are in the DT OH FOR ME GROG (2) HERE'S TO THE GROG ALL THROUGH THE ALE And in the forum All for me grog has links to several other threads on the variants of this song. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mike Cross sea shanty From: Peace Date: 06 May 05 - 06:54 PM Thank you Snuffy and Barry. I just entered 'grog' in the DT and it brought up a whole bunch of stuff including the ones Suuffy posted. Learned something new today. Cool. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mike Cross sea shanty From: Skipper Jack Date: 07 May 05 - 09:53 AM There's a terrific non-shanty version of this song " Oh For me grog" recorded by Martyn Wyndham-Read on his "Sunlit Plains" CD. He says that he got it from Bert Lloyd who collected it in New South Wales. |
