Sinsul -- What a lovely song. I'll seek out the tune. Thank you.
Ocean Island Hmmm. Well I guess there are a few river ones.

Oh! Oh! I just thought of Atlantis. A fun one to do along with sinking songs ...
"We'll they built the land Atlantis to sail the ocean blue.
They thought they had a land that the water would never come through
But the Lord's almighty hand ....." and so forth
Cheers, Joy

Thanks Arran. I learned "The Road to the Isles" when I was about 7. Our teacher just loved it. She had us singing it every day. She told us the meanings of the unfamiliar words. The far Coolins must have called her away for ever by now.
