    I did a quick search in the Table Of Contents and didn't see this one. Hopefully it's alright to post it as a future contender for Song Of The Week!
    You know what's better than two sea captains? THREE Sea Captains. I can feel the sea air on my face when I listen to this piece. And I guess I wore the appropriate shirt as well. Please enjoy!!

    Lovely recording of a great tune -- I like the (fast) version by Dave Swarbrick and the (slower) one by The Dubliners.

    We do have a previous thread for this tune, started by Bertram back in 2011. I added my own version to that thread in 2018:

    This is the ‘Other Tunes’ list of about 2000 tunes that over the years members of Song A Week have recorded and posted.
    Barbara takes time working on keeping that list up to date. (Thank you Barbara).
    If anyone has a reasonably familiar tune they would like to post then if you search in this list before you post yours then you may find it and join us -you’re all very welcome.
