Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hugill's 'Old Man and the After Guard
Sue my wife used to have a copy of Men and the Sea, but it went with a lot of vinyl when a friend "looked after" them for us. If you can't get hold of it, I might be able to trace it again.

My father used to sing an army version of the song as "A Soldier and a Sailor", words adapted to army officers and no doubt cleaned up when he sang it at home.
