I traded 'em for beer and tobacco. Oh I spent all me tin on the ladies drinking gin. Be sailin' in the morning when the wind blows " I have no idea if it is a traditional song Mike Cross jazzed up or if it was one he wrote himself but I can't seem to find the lyrics anywhere. Thank you in advance for the help! {O) |

Probably something I'm doin' wrong. However, to add to Barry's post, the link above takes you to a version also. |

These versions are in the DT OH FOR ME GROG (2) HERE'S TO THE GROG ALL THROUGH THE ALE And in the forum All for me grog has links to several other threads on the variants of this song. |
