Saucy Sailor

Another salvage from an old VHS tape. I dated it as 1991, but it might have been a bit later? Nate, Ned, Hannah, Mike, and Keith practicing the Steel Eye Span tune we did to death back then in Keith's old apartment.

[HeseQ]

Could you please pass me the chords for this wonderful song?

Thank you so much!!

[n0b0dyR34L]

@HeseQ I hadn't played it in so long I had to watch the video and figure it out ;)

Come me [A] own one, come me fair one,

Come now unto me,

Could you [Dm] fancy a poor [A] sailor lad,

Who has just come [G] from [D] sea? [G]

[MaliciousVicious]

For some reason it sounds a bit different from the Steeleye version but maybe I'm just hearing things.

Thanks for uploading this anyway, I can't find the original version anywhere and I just adore this song :3

[n0b0dyR34L]

Steeleye had Maddy Prior and definitely didn't have a trombone player ;)

Flute's gorgeous too.

[MooglePower]

Fantastic! :-)

[smokindog]

Thats what music is all about!!! Great job!

Folk music is all about using the instruments you have handy...even a trombone :-)

[YOUReffingMAMMY]

Excellent job doing your own version of an AMAZING song. The original is standing by itself, but you guys are right in the next tier, I believe. Kudos. GREAT. :-)

[steiketa]
