Well, not really Steve.

But there was an alternative version to the chorus you mentioned with the second line of 'This four-funnelled bastard is getting me down'. This referred to the 50 ancient destroyers loaned by the USA. They were totally unsuited to the work they undertook - North Atlantic convoy escort - after 20 years in mothballs, built for speed and not for endurance or agility and could apparently roll your fillings out on a long Atlantic swell.

'Jervis Bay' is an excellent song. There's a version in the DT but what's given there as verse five is really the chorus.

Jim Radford is appearing at Hull Folk Festival (oh did I mention that again?) and he served on rescue tugs during WW2 and has written excellent songs of his experiences.
