A folksong/shanty about the shipyards and their closure, in Sunderland. “Maggie” refers to the singer’s mother, the prime minister, and a historic ship.

This arrangement for SATB has been performed by more than one choir, but as yet I have no recording of it.

Here’s a fragment of the computer playing this arrangement. You can hear a couple of other versions below under “Preview”.

This song was originally composed as a unison song for children. You can find that version here.
