Thread Name: Lyr Req: So Far from Home (Tim Brooks)
Subject: So Far From Home
I heard a tape with the shanty (?) song "So Far From Home" sung by a Liverpool shanty group Stormalong John. The song sounds very much like a contemporary American Jody, or marching song. The chorus line goes something like, "So far from home, Every man's an enemy So far from home."> Any thoughts would be appreciated.
