I've just found the words to this song on the net. Can anyone out there give me any background to it,please?? A tune would be helpful as well or a way of contacting Ken Graydon.
Cheers

And there's a CD entitled VICTORY SINGS SONGS OF THE SEA by a Seattle-based collective with a fine rendition of that song. That CD may even be available from the "Shop" at Mudcat or from Elderly Instruments' website in Lansing, MI.

Cheerily,
