I funally found a great sung version by Ian Giles on the CD Sea Shanties - rousing songs from the age of sail - and here's the link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sea-Shanties-Various-Artists/dp/B000EGD1P6/ref=sr_1_20/202-9566014-6696667?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1173139635&sr=1-20 takes some careful listening and quick note-taking, but hope this helps!

Perhaps you cound start by grabbing the words from the DT ... and amending all differences ... then we would have another interesting version to play with! Regards, Bob |
