Spanish Ladies (B) [385-386] (294)

Here is the chantey in its second, minor mode melodic variant. Actually, THIS minor tune is not quite the same as the well-known one; as I usually try to do, I am giving Hugill the benefit of the doubt and sticking to his notation, rather than be swayed by what I'm used to hearing.

For the major mode tune, and more details on the chantey, see here:

@reifsneider Yes, the unfamiliar melody was a bit of a stumbling block. Thanks!

Bravo clint. You put your own style on it, and you obviously feel the essence of the shant. Keep splicing the mainbrace sailor... ;)
