After 50 years' search here is the song .... http://www.mediafire.com/file/w9klhwqqkmsmf0u/The_Ballad_of_The_Gypsy_Moth.mp3 The Ballad of the Gypsy Moth ( Ken Campbell of The Pennine Folk) In '66 I'll tell you Sir, A man called Francis Chichester Sailed out one day from a Devon cove, To circumnavigate the globe. Ch.: Hey ho, roll and go, Around the Horn in the months of snow, How many times can a man defy The raging sea and the rolling sky? Away from the cheers of a following crowd Comes Gypsy Moth like a flying cloud Around Cape Hope with a lazy motion Straight for the heart of the Southern Ocean Ch.: The steering smashed and the ??? The ??? batteries are running low They'll never make it straight they said Here she comes around Sydney Head Ch.: ??? With half a ton of lead in her keel And out where the roaring 40's blow Where the ice runs thick and big whales go Ch.: Around Cape Horn where the mermaid knows Straight for the locker of Davey Jones Where a million tons of ocean hurled You swear you're bound for another world Ch.: Its off to the Gulf Stream warm and mild With half the nation going wild Gypsy Moth comes home from sea So make her fast to the Greenwich Quay Ch.: === But who knows the missing words please? ===
