Thread Name: Help: Home Again (1860 navy song)
Subject: RE: Searching for a pre-Civil War Navy song
There's no song listed as "Home Again" on it,but Geoff Kaufman has a recording out called "Huzza Old Ironsides!-Her Life & Times In Song"
(Cob's Cobble Music CCM 1003-Box 638 Mystic CT 06355) with nothing but songs concerning the Constitution. I'd have to listen again, as there are no lyrics given, to see if the song is there by another title. He sites a book he used for information and Historical continuity in making the Album, "A Most Fortunate Ship: A Narrative History Of 'Old Ironsides'", by Tyrone G. Martin. There is a USS Constitution Museum in Boston. You can cross reference and research those resources as a start. Good Luck!
