OK I may be conflating two, or even three songs here. One verse goes: Papa writes to Johnny. but Johnny can't come home (3x) Johnny's been out on the chain gang too [or "so"] long.
The other song [same tune?] Has a refrain or chorus which goes [In my memory]:
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me (3x) Look away beyond the sea.
I know there's a 'catter who will understand my thread title AND know the song(s). I messed around in advanced search in DT to no avail ...
cheers dennis
