So, the Maid on the Shore has successfully hoodwinked the rapist captain and his rapist crew

[conuly]

and sung them all to sleep and stolen all their hoarded gold and jewels and, idk, silk and spices and shit, and then she rows back to shore... using a broadsword? I mean, doesn't the boat already have oars? Actual oars, which will work better for their intended purpose? She doesn't need to jury-rig something, she can just steal his sword and row back in the normal way!

My daughter and I were filking Barratt's Privateers only yesterday!

We both know the song so well that changing the words for a different purpose is easy. (A day volunteering in a 1642 era village - as an American film company want to see if it's a potentially useful set for them. We're both regulars there)

I'd tell you the words, but phrases like - Now I'm a broken woman in a latchet shoe - probably wouldn't make much sense!

I'm English, but learnt some Canadian history from Stan. He was a fabulous singer.
