Thread Name: Origins: Jack Tar / Poor Jack / Saucy Sailor
Subject: RE: Origins: Jack Tar / Poor Jack / Saucy Sailor
I'm sorry. I'm still confused. The Saucy Sailor and Tarry Sailor have nothing in common other than the word 'sailor' and Paper of Pins is a variant of The Keys of Heaven/Canterbury and has nothing whatsoever to do with sailor songs. What's going on here?
