Hello all,
I was wondering if anybody has an ABC version of the song “I Courted a Sailor.”
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick
I found this tune, I don’t know if it is the same tune as Rusby’s.

I also tried eight pages on Google with no results. Edit: I also tried Hotbot,Yahoo, Excite,Lycos, Altavista. and several deep search engines. LOts of reviews, lyrics etc. but no ABC.

I’m no good with abc, but I’ve been playing along with the Rusby CD. It’s in B-flat maj. Here is a shot at the first phrase notes - I don’t know how to do the rhythm in abc.
B-flat maj.

Hope I got that right. It’s not hard to figure out after you get started. Have fun.
Wow, thanks a ton!
Mark, it’s not the same tune but I really appreciate your work to find it. I was just wondering if anybody had it handy, lol. I also did some search engine scouring and found nothing but reviews…
Dave, thanks for the start. I think I can get it from here.
