But then, since the "advanced" message was not from a pleb like me but from "Susan of DT" I think it's fairly apparent that there's been a huge conspiracy going on, and something is starting to unravel. Remember, this is folk music: we argue so much and fight so hard because the stakes are so small. :-) |

Oh, it's of a sea captain who sailed the salt sea
So the sailors all got in the very long boat
Now it's with much persuasion they got her on board,
And when they've arrived aside of the ship,
"Oh, thank you! Oh, thank you!" this young girl she cried.
And she sat herself down in the stern of the ship.
And she's robbed them of silver; she's robbed them of gold,
"Oh, were me men drunk or were me men mad,
"Now your men were not drunk and your men were not mad, [Sung by Martin Carthy on his "Second Album," 1966. Transcribed by Garry Gillard. *Not quite sure about "chew." Another version has "The captain he sat on his chair-o."] |
