[singing]  Oh, the boson’s mate was very sedate
Yet fond of amusement too.
He’s play hopscotch with the starboard watch
While the captain tickled the crew.
And the gunner we had was apparently mad
For he sat on the after rai-ai-ail
As he fired salutes with the captain’s boots
In the teeth of the booming gale.
[chorus] [JB joints]
                Then blow ye winds, heigh ho!
                A’sailing I will go.
                I’ll sail no more on England’s shores
                So let the music play–ay–ay!
                I’m off on the morning train.
                I’ll cross the raging main.
                I’m off to my  love with a boxing glove
                Ten thousand miles away.

To start over, I do that, huh?
JB2
Yes.  That’s right.  Very good.

Let’s see.  I was talking about moving the house from right behind Godfreys’ to the west end of our property, and then, the dictation took about a twelve-hour lapse, so I’m restarting now, in the afternoon of the 23rd of May, 2011, at 2:27pm Arkansas time. 
We resided in the house right behind Godfreys’ until we had it rolled down onto our property, and one major thing that happened while we were still living in the house right behind Godfreys’ was the neighbors two houses away — the Adamsons’ house caught fire and burned down.  We had some of the Adamson children come and live in our house with us.  That didn’t last for very long.  I don’t know why.
