I'm missing one line from the last verse of June Tabor's version of 'Riding Down To Portsmouth'(from the 'A Cut Above' album with Martin Simpson).

My googling for the lyrics only throws up other versions of the song. The lyrics of these other versions are so different that they're really of no help to me.


The line I'm looking for is here:
"I says Damn, oh damn it to myself, and I paid for my learnin'.
I says Damn, oh damn it to myself, and I paid for my teachin'.
Now [incomprehensible line]
And it's back unto the sea I must return.
Oh, don't you think I laid all underneath a curse
As I was on my way up to Portsmouth."

Any help would be hugely appreciated! This is one of those frustrating cases where I've spent the whole morning googling for this one line...
