21 Sep 04 - 11:07 AM (#1277351) Subject: Lyr Add: THE SAILMAKER (Dan McKinnon) From: GUEST,Dan in Nova Scotia I'm so happy that you enjoyed the song. Here are the lyrics: Been 60 years a sailmaker Learned from my father's hand We sewed up slips of canvas Double stitching every strand We worked from dawn to dusk Making 50 cents a day But now the time of sailing ships is all but gone away. We sewed up sets of mainmast sails For the Bluenose and Cape Anne And when we couldn't use machines We sewed them all by hand Bare masts sat there in the harbour While we worked both night and day But now the time of sailing ships is all but gone away Chorus: And I wander sometimes down to the workshop Just to watch the daylight pass away And wipe away the dust from the benchtops filled with rust From broken needles left where they lay I've watched the big fleets come and go The schooners anchored in the bay They glide without a sound But for the slapping of the waves I've watched the ships go proudly out I've seen the men obey But now the time of sailing ships is all but gone away. _____ Can't wait to be back in England next April. See you all soon. Best Wishes Dan |

21 Sep 04 - 05:20 PM (#1277666) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Sailmaker - dan mckinnon?? From: GUEST,Dan in Nova Scotia Well, thank you all!! I'm glad I could help. And John, I'm happy to hear your son was able to decipher the lyrics. But am I that unintelligible when I sing? And just for the record, I'm in the studio in January of 2005 and the new one will be recorded and produced by Paul Mills. So I'm busily writing for another and with luck will have ample for the new one. Anyway, again, many thanks and I'll see you all very soon, and George, most likely sooner than the others. If there's any other questions I'm in Mudcat periodically and will do my best to answer any and all queries. Cheers, Dan |

Our george has a CD launch on 29th October in St Albans, its attracting great revues. |
