ok . . .I've done my homework . . .founmd several versions of "Sail Away Ladies" . . . none of them contain the words I have been faithfully singing for about 30 years . . . the verse I have goes "Ever I get my red dress on, Sail away ladies, sail away, gonna dance until the dawn, sail away etc . . . ."

I did find another neat verse "I got a letter from Shiloh town . . .
It read "St Louis is burning down" . . . that's a keeper, along with the other verses:
"Ain't no use sittin' crying" SALSA . . . hey! I never noticed the acronym for the refrain before . . . . hahahahaha! . . . but I digress . . .
"you'll be an angel bye an' bye, SALSA"

"Ever I get my new house done,
Give my old one to my son"

"Wish I was in Tennessee,
That's the place I wanna be . . ."
(Better than being on a road out of Texas, I say . . . .)

Anyone recognise the song version I have? And I would love to add more verses if they weren't yuk ones about spitting tobacco juice etc (you know the one I mean . . .)
