In the Digitrad db, "Lady of Carlisle" , 4th verse, last line says 'Captain of the ship that come from far.'

In the Ian and Sylvia version, this line sounds to me to be sung as 'Captain of the ship named Hong Kong Car.'

Neither of these would seem to be good grammatical phrasing; however, I can live with either one. Since I learned the song from listening to I & S, I tend to want to go with their version due to knowing the timing of the lyrics better.

Other lyrics web sites have similar versions to the Digitrad listing except for "Misc Folk Lyrics" which has the perceived I & S version above with 'Hong Kong Kar' in the line.

What do other 'catters who are familar with the I & S version think?

BTW, there are several other lyrical variations by I & S from the lyrics here but the rest are clear on the recording.
