I have just received a challenge from my friend Ger whose website GEST Songs Of Newfoundland And Labrador is an invaluable source of lyrics and sound-bites. It is to fit the lyrics of the song Jackie Tar to the tune ‘The Sailor’s Hornpipe’. So here is my attempt. Information about the song can be found on the aforementioned site.
Is this a sea shanty?
Well done. That’s a great website, but, for some reason, I can never access it from Australia.
@SteveWilson52 In that it is a song to the tune of a hornpipe, it is, though not a working shanty.
