A Dave Buckley (Kimber's Men) tribute song to Stan Hugill, the last of the 'real' shantymen who died on May 13th 1992 aged 86. I've changed the words a bit (Dave's version is even longer than mine) and I'm singing the tune Dave first taught me, which is not quite the tune Kimber's Men now sing. For the version by the writer please refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcnnC6O6sg4
Ive always been a fan Joe but this time you should have left the song well alone. This is more like captain pugwash :-(. I've heard the original and prefered it.
