Subject: RE: Info requested re: 'The Deserter'
I'm trying to recall all the words of The Rambling Royal, one of the Deserter family of songs which I learned 40 years ago from John Faulkner's singing on Argo's John & Sandra {which has disappeared down the BlackHole that eats records — I'll bet there's one in your house too}. It is cross-refd with The Deserter on DT, & a VWL ref given; but I don't seem able to raise the full lyric. It begins "I am a Rambling Royal, from Liverpool I come, And by a sad misfortune I enlisted in the Marines..."   Can anyone help, please?
