I (and Calennig) sang Tommy's Gone Away in 1994 on the CD Trade Winds (on the Sain label.) Hugill said he heard a South Wales sailor sing it, and we included it in the Carpenter collection. Extra verses include:

Tommy's gone to Cardiff town
Tommy's gone away!
Where the girls they come on down
Tommy's gone away!

Tommy's gone to Swansea Bay
Where the girls they shout Hooray!

Tommy's gone to Abergwaun
That's Sheila haulin' on the line

If Eye Lander does want to sing it, she can have my blessing. Llantrisant FC misses you both very much!
