Wrigglefingers Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I've got this tune floating round my head (and I'm tunelessly humming bits of it even now - an earworm we call them in my family). I think it's quite well-known but I can't track either the words or the notes down at all as I've probably not got the title right either. Elly would like to sing it properly and is regarding my inability to find it with increasing exasperation. The chorus first line is ... "well, it's braw sailin' on the sea, when wind and weather's fair ...." and that's all I can remember - it's probably Scottish or Gaelic in origin. If anyone can help, you may restore the modicum of respect that my daughter once had for me! Thanks, Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I can't track either the words or the notes down at all as I've probably not got the title right either. Try this Google search. It includes reference to a couple of recordings. The Eileen McGann web site says "Listen to a clip", but there seems to be no link to actually do so. PIty! Find the words here.

Wrigglefingers Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 Jim Many thanks! - you are a love and the drinks are obviously on me next time. Elly says she should have known better than to leave the job in the hands of an obvious idiot (me) and could you possibly give me Google lessons?
