Subject: Lost my noggin boots From: Lee Thomson Date: 06 Oct 98 - 11:00 PM I was looking for Noggin Boots, (1st line "Oh for my boots, my noggin noggin boots, all gone for beer and tobacco") a sea shanty. And it tells me to try a fuzzy search, which I also can't figure out - so help on either topic is gratefully accepted. |
Subject: RE: Lost my noggin boots From: Barry Finn Date: 07 Oct 98 - 02:26 AM Enter in All for me Grog, you'll find a close version to what you're looking for. I think there may have been a thread on this awhile back or maybe it was part of a thread. Barry |
Subject: RE: Lost my noggin boots From: Nathan Sarvis Date: 07 Oct 98 - 12:11 PM I've seen it under the title "Haul Away Joe". |
Subject: RE: Lost my noggin boots From: Martin Ryan Date: 07 Oct 98 - 01:16 PM "Haul away Joe" is usually a different family. Can somebody tell me about "noggin boots", by the way? I know about "nobby hats", which often turns up in the same song but never understood "noggin boots". Regards |
Subject: RE: Lost my noggin boots From: O'Boyle Date: 08 Oct 98 - 12:59 AM I always thought that it was a derivative of "noggie" which used to be a slang term for prep school in the UK. So "noggin' boots" were his old school/dress shoes. It's a stretch, so to speak, but its a possibility. Rick |
