New Song! “Put Y’Self in a Boat”
Yo, ho! Put y’self in a boat, and you’ll have a story by’n'by.
New Song! “Put Y’Self in a Boat.” Not much original in the music, kind of a standard sailor/drinking ditty, but I think you’ll find the chorus rings very true if you’ve ever owned a boat. As for me, I wouldn’t have much of a story repertoire without the sailing stories. Yes, I need to check the facts on some vaguely remembered stories, and probably more verses to be added, both more boating stories from books and some personal ones if I can fit the music. And here’s a verse you can pass around and maybe get something started:
Put your yacht club in their boats And put their stories in this song. You can send them all to me, And I will pass them all along.
Yo, ho! put y’self in a boat, And you’ll have a story by’n'by. Yo, ho! put y’self in a boat, And we’ll have a story by’n'by.
