OH FLORIE appears on Jimmie Driftwood's "Songs of Billy Yank and Johnny Reb," RCA Victor LP SP-2316, 1961; and on "Americana," Bear Family 3-CD box set BCD-15465, 1991.

I was able to transcribe one verse from a sound sample. He sings it with a German accent:

They gives me hardtack bread to eat but likes to broke my jaw.
Sometimes I split him mit an iron ... (?) and sometimes mit a saw.
The beef he was so salty, Lot's wife killed him, I know;
And the general says they put him in the brine ten thousand years ago.

SAILOR MAN appears on Jimmie Driftwood's album "Newly Discovered Early American Folk Songs," RCA Victor LP PM-1635, 1958; "The Best of Jimmy Driftwood," Monument LP SP-18043, 1966; and "Americana," described above.

This is from a sound sample:

When I went away, she said goodbye,
And gave that key to another guy.
That's the life of a sailor man.
He has to do the best he can.
That's the life of a sailor man.
He has to do the best he can.

I found me a babe in New Orleans.
She was one o' them Cajun queens.
We danced all night....
