My father, who had served in the US Navy during WWII, sang this song with great gusto, and I learned it from him. Never thought to ask him when and where he learned it, but suspect it was while serving in the 'boats' (aka submarines) in the Pacific. I had forgotten a few of the stanzas, so it was great to see them all listed here. Thanks for some nice memories of singing on long car trips. |
