I first heard this song in around 1971, it was a demo album from DECCA records. It was untitled and a mate of mine got a job there and stole shit loads of albums. I kept this one for years and loved all the songs on it some were sea shanties, some were hillbilly stuff, it was great and I wish I still had it. One of the songs went,,,now Johnny’s been on sea and Johnny’s been on shore, he went to a tavern where he had been before, bring down your daughter polly and set her on my knee, bring down you daughter polly and happy we shall be.
Such memories these songs bring back to me and I wish I could play guitar like that too. Oh well
Fun memories! Thanks for sharing!
