No, not Roll, Alabama, Roll. I was reading an article about the excavation of the C.S.S. Alabama in the December 1994 issue of National Geographic. It mentions that the Alabama's crew was not solely Confederate, but included English, Welsh, Germans, and Portuguese. It also quotes a verse of a song supposedly sung by Liverpudlian crew members, without giving any other information:
"We're homeward bound; we're homeward bound, And soon shall stand on English ground, But ere that English land we see, We first must fight the Kearsargee."
Does anybody know anything about this song? I would really like to get my hands on the complete lyrics and the tune.
