If there's a sea version out there that's different than the 2 that Doerflinger give's in his Shantymen & Shantyboys I'd sure be greatful. Still looking after all these years.
Doerflinger's got: "Our Jack's Come Home Today"

Oh, Jack's come home from sea today,
All brown & bronzed was he.
But his heart's as true as it was of yore,
His spirit's light & gay
You littlr know the joy we felt
When he came home todat
Our Jack's come home today

CH: Our Jack's come home today,
Our Jack's come home today.
The good ship Jane's in port again
Our Jack's come home today

Our Jack's come home from sea today
To make his Neil his bride
With loving heart she ne'er despaired
Though all hope within her died
Her eyes grew dim, her cheeks grew pale,
She slowly pinned away.
All danger's past; he's safe at last,
For he came home today.

Thanks
Barry
