Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes, but I have more serious matters to consider...in 13 minutes, it will be our 45th Wedding Anniversary. :-O

I tried singing the Shanty as requested, but my stereo microphone is only firing on one channel, and my voice sounded pretty crappy in mono.
So as not to totally disappoint you, these are the words as far as I can remember them from what they used to call "Country Music" at primary school:

The Shanty of Joe


When the wind is not blowin'
And the men are all rowin'
But Joe, who's not showin'
Then Haul Joe Away!

When we're drownin' in seaspray,
Sea 'n' sky both filthy grey,
Who's sleepin' below today?
Let's Haul Joe Away!

When the wild wind is screamin'
You bet someone's dreamin'
And we all start our schemin'
To Haul Joe Away!

Then a call from the top end!
A flag signal did they send!
For here comes his girlfriend,
To Haul Joe Away!
Cheers, Mike.
