Subject: RE: searching:
That's not a "sack" in the first verse, however. It's a "sark" (shirt). I've heard a lot of the words of this song misunderstood. One singer I know used to sing "hip boots" instead of "pit boots," etc.

Good to see you're checking up on us, Lou! You can and, I hope, will contribute a great deal of value to this forum.
