That's very nice of you to say, ChanteyLass.

I agree: It's quite difficult if not nearly impossible to get where we were rolling home to...if some one (as I did!) edits out the rest of the song! It's: Hamburg! The song is the Low German ("Plattdüütsch") version. In Low German, it's spelled "Hamborg" and pronounced a little like "haamboish". Since the chorus is in English though, the audience was able to sing along nevertheless.
