This famous native sea ballad achieved wide circulation in Newfoundland through the Gerald S. Doyle booklets, where it was reprinted from Ballads And Sea Songs Of Newfoundland by Elisabeth Bristol Greenleaf and Grace Yarrow Mansfield. The original singer in 1927 was Lizzie Rose of Fox Harbour, Labrador. Thanks for sharing. :-)
This is one of my favorite songs since i heard it on the wonderful album "We'll rant and we'll roar"
