Thread Name: Lyr Req: Titanic (Leadbelly)
Subject: Ballad of the sinking of the titanic
I'm looking for a tune I used to hear back in the early 70's on a AM radio show from Little Rock Arkansas, Beaker Street, KAAY. Looking for info on who and the name a tune , "They wouldn't let Jack Johnston onboard they say this ship don't haul no coal, farethewell Titanic farethewell" It was a ballad of a guy that used to work in a hemp factory that burned down and wound up as a mate on the Titanic.
