Elusive song

[maggiebee]

I was cutting the grass today when a line of a song came into my head. I've no idea where it came from but guess it was probably one my mum or dad sang when I was young. Anyway, found it on You Tube. It's called "He played his ukulele as the ship went down". If I could I'd post it on here, but as I don't know how to do this I can only give you the link:

My dad always sang this song and every now and then it pops into my mind and and I find myself singing it.Even 30 years after his death if one of the kids hear me they always refer to it as "Grandads song"
