I heard a salty old Chief bos'n from Louisiana sing this on the
first ship I was on in the US Navy in 1965
He used 'off the table Mable the quarter's for beer'
and continued with the dirtiest lyrics I'd ever heard in a song
(which wasn't hard considering I'd come from Utah).
Wish I could remember the lyrics - and he had many many
lyrics 'from back in the War years' he said.
