Ship's Carpenter- Sung by James Smith (74) of Western Union, Sussex April 19, 1909. Collector: George Gardiner.
In fair Worcester city and in fair Worcestershire,
A handsome young damsel and she lived there,
And a handsome young man courted her to be his dear,
And he was by trade- oh, a ship's carpenter.
