Another song from Joe Offer's collection, this is the second song with this title that I have uploaded, so as you can see, I have labelled it Rambling Sailor 2.
The following notes accompany the song in the collection:
Source: Garners Gay, EFDS Publications, 1967
Notes:
Fred Hamer collected this song from William Bartle, Bedfordshire and notes "It was the last song he sang to me before he died in the bitter cold of the 1962-63 winter."
This leaves it unclear whether the song was also collected in 62-63 or that it was collected some time earlier and only the death happened then.
Once again, the chords were not included with the score, so I have devised my own chord progression.
