Charlie,
Just to clarify the title of the Ron Baxter song on your new CD. When he gave me a handwritten copy of the poem, there was just one word on the top of the page - Tramps. I put the tune to it and recorded it with our group on our CD "Rolling the Whole World Round". Talking to Ron about it afterwards he told me he had thought of it as "A Chanty for Steam" whilst he was writing it but as I said, the word Tramps was on his manuscript, so Tramps it became on our CD!!! (With Ron's blessing of course)! So, in answer to your question, it would seem that both titles apply.
Anyway, glad that you like it enough to have recorded it (Ron emailed me to tell me), and good luck with the new CD.
