I just figured out that the song I posted above as OH CRUEL is sometimes known as THE ANSWER TO 'OH CRUEL'. It is a comical parody of an older song called OH CRUEL which is serious. It exists in several versions, and so far, I haven't figured out which one is the original original. But in any case, the versions I've found don't mention press-gangs, so I figured it wouldn't be appropriate to post them in this thread.
