i finally got our captain to post the lyrics to the shanties that he has been teaching us, so here's the one i couldn't find.
Felow
Chorus: Felow ho we’re sailing (x2) The bosun is hailing The lads are high in the riggin And the wind in the hawse is wailing Felow ho we’re sailing (x2)
We took her out from Greenock Felow ho feleerow 6 and 30 white sails she wore like maidens on the valley
Chorus
We passed the land of Erin No sign of it a fairin’ The wind it blew up behind us and it blew till we started swearing
Chorus
We’re bound for Nova Scotia New Foundland and Manitoba We’ll be at sea for a year or more Before this voyage is over
Chorus
enjoy & very glad that you have the music to that one - 'twill help me remember :)

Chorus: Felow ho we’re sailing (x2)
The bosun is hailing
The lads are high in the riggin
And the wind in the hawse is wailing
Felow ho we’re sailing (x2)
We took her out from Greenock
Felow ho feleerow
6 and 30 white sails she wore
like maidens on the valley
Chorus
We passed the land of Erin
No sign of it a fairin’
The wind it blew up behind us
and it blew till we started swearing
Chorus
We’re bound for Nova Scotia
New Foundland and Manitoba
We’ll be at sea for a year or more
Before this voyage is over
Chorus
enjoy & very glad that you have the music to that one - 'twill help me remember :)
