23 Nov 00 - 10:50 PM (#345873) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs the Whalermen Sang From: Sandy Paton It's on Ed Trickett's new CD Echo on the Evening Tide which is available through Folk-Legacy. Scroll down from the top of the opening page, then click on the image of Ed's CD. That'll show you the tray card. I'll try to find time to copy the words from Gale's book, but I can't do that tonight. Perhaps some kind soul will save me the trouble! Anyone else got the book? Sandy ROW ON Row on row on another day May shine with brighter light Ply ply the oars and pull away Thou must not come tonight
Clouds are on the summer sky
Bear where thou goest the words of love
Oh like yon river would I glide
But yet a star shines constant still
Row on row on God speed the way Three Brothers 1846 [p. 290. No music] |
