Barnacle Bill The Sailor

Sometimes re-written as a nasty song with X-rated lyrics this song has seen many incarnations.

I remember a version of this old chestnut was used in a cartoon back in the 1950's or so.
I recorded a version with Kate Sullivan using   somewhat more acceptable lyrics.

Here is a taste of the first verse. The whole shebang with chords for verses and chorus can be seen and heard at the link below.
 
Who’s that knocking at my door? Who’s that knocking at my door?

                                             D7                                        G
Who’s that knocking at my door , cried the fair - young maiden

A7 D                                               A7                       D
It’s me my love it’s only me cried Barnacle Bill the sailor

        D                                             A7                      D
It’s me my love it’s only me cried Barnacle Bill the sailor...
