Subject: RE: Cicely Fox Smith - Sailor Town
Jon-
Interesting request. There isn't a C. Fox Smith poem by that name in my 3 books. There is a poem called "In Sailortown" in my copy of FULL SAIL, pp. 72-74, which starts:
They don't sell no flash gear in Sailortown...
C. Fox Smith also wrote a series of short stories in her book entitled SAILORTOWN. Perhaps Sirman worked up a song from one of those stories. Can you tell us more?
Cheerily,
Charley Noble
