Sailor Variations

A quick little thing.

I have been filling in for a band here in Melbourne who play folk-rock stuff, and one of the tunes we did is the trad. "Drunken Sailor" song. So in a fit of lack of inspiration for WB stuff, I did a couple of variations on the theme, including a bit of a take on the original at the start.

Could definitely do with an accordion; something about those always complete these tunes.
