GUEST,Allegra Help: Capital Ship's 'boxing glove'?!?! (76* d) RE: Help: Capital Ship's 'boxing glove'?!?! 29 Oct 11

"I'm off to my love with a boxing glove 10000 miles away." This guy's a ring fighter, going from England to Australia to compete in the national boxing match and use the winning money to rescue and marry his girl, who was shipped By the British Government to Australia by the British Government -- where it sends its convicts. (see portion of lyrics below)   Boxing matches in Australia and Ireland are like hockey to Canadians -- the fans go nuts!

Oh, dark and dismal was the day,
When last I saw my Meg
She'd a Government band around each hand
And another one round her leg
And another one round her leg, my boys
As the big ship left the bay,
"Adieu," said she, "remember me,
Ten thousand miles away!"
