about

Picked it up on the shanty circuit, perhaps first heard it in Mystic. Started singing this one on a British tour.

I was told by some locals at the Whitby Folk Festival that Mr. Forbes had recently passed, and they told me he sang the song a bit faster. I hope I've picked up the tempo enough to honour his memory. - Richard
