Ian Bell and Friends sing "The Jennie P. King"
The Jennie King was supposedly named for a "madame" of that name in Buffalo. She mostly carried timber to the Erie Canal at Tonawanda. There was no tune indicated so I adapted the melody of "The Bigler's Cruise". (Probably the most popular tune on the lakes!) Collected by Ivan Walton from Norman "Beachie" McIvor in Goderich.
