Er, yup I guess yer right at that.
As far as the Forebitters go I can't tell you much except I once heard a friends tape of them and this one always stuck in me head. As theri name implies they only sang songs of the sea.
As for the song it goes like this: Music maestro please.

Aboard a Man O' War

As I was a walking down a London street
A press gang there I chanced to meet
They asked me if I'd join the fleet
Aboard a man o' war boys

But they lie brother shipmates so tell me true
The kind of treatment they gave to you
That I may know before I go
Aboard a man o' war boys

Well the first thing they did they took me in hand
And they flogged me with a tar off the strand
They flogged me 'till i could not stand
Aboard a man o' war boys

Then they strung me up by my two thumbs
Then they flogged me 'till the blood did run
And that's the treatment they gave to me
Aboard a man o' war boys

Now I had a wife and her name was Grace
And she was the cause of my disgrace
At night I'd curse her ugly face
Aboard a man o' war boys

Now if ever I get me feet on shore
To be with them London girls once more
I never will go to sea any moreme feet on
Aboard a man o' war boys
Aboard a man o' war boys
