Anyone know this song? Wilfred said wait and let it come to you Wilfred ought to know 35 years on the Straits of Georgia towboats? I have it on a tape. It sounds just like Stan Rogers singing part of it. mg

Your question was answered where you first asked it, in this thread: Who sings about tugboats?

ClaireBear wrote: "That song is 'Towboats,' which was written by Bob Bossin as I noted above and recorded by his band, Stringband." She also confirmed that Stan Rogers sang on the recording.

Bob Bossin's web site lists a song called TUGBOATS on the album "The Indispensable Stringband".

Allmusic.com lists it on 5 albums:

Thanks to the Following, 1974
Stringband Revisited, 1978
Across Russia by Stage, 1981
Bossin's Generic Cassette, 1986
Bossin's West Coast, 1986

--but I couldn't find any lyrics or samples.

Thanks. If I get across the border this weekend I will see if any of the Canadians know it. mg
