“Sea of Love” Del Shannon
“Sitting at the Dock of the Bay” (I Left my Home in Georgia, sitting by the ‘Frisco Bay) -Otis Redding
“Dixie Lily” - Elton John (river presumed to be Mississippi)
I am also partial to Burl Ives’ rendition of “High Barbaree.”
And Joan Baez’ classic performance of “Henry Martin” goes well with that (if you can get past her leftism)
Sorry I don't have the software set up to post these.

“Down To The River To Pray”
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way!
O sisters let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
O sisters let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe & crown?
Good Lord show me the way
O brothers let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Come on brothers, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way
O fathers let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
O fathers let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way
O mothers let’s go down
Come on down, don’t you wanna go down?
Come on mothers, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way
O sinners, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
O sinners, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way

The sailors say “Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)
“Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea”
Uh, has anyone named, “Anchors Aweigh” yet?

Submarines have no latrines,
the men wear leather britches.
They hang their tails out ‘or the rails,
and yell like sons ‘a bitches.
Thank You Fatima, Love your THREADS!!!!!
