'''BIG SHIP, THE'''. AKA and see "Glise de/a Sherbrooke." English, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Originally the Quebecois reel "Glise a Sherbrooke," here rendered as a polka. Peter Kennedy evidently adapted it for the children's game-song called "The Big Ship Sails," "There's a Big Ship Sailing" and similar titles. Several Irish and British versions are extent, but all go along the lines:
<br>
<br>
''The big ship sails through the alley-alley-o''<br>
''The alley-alley-o, the alley-alley-o;''<br>
''The big ship sails through the alley-alley-o''<br>
''On the last day of September.''
<br>
<br>
''Mother, father, may I go''<br>
''May I go, may I go?''<br>
''Oh mother, father, may I go''<br>
''On the last day of September?''
<br>
<br>
''The captain says that'll never never do''<br>
''Never never do, never never do.''<br>
''The captain says that'll never never do''<br>
''On the last day of September.''
<br>
<br>
''The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea''<br>
''The bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea;''<br>
''The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea''<br>
''On the last day of September.''
