Thanks, Brendy, that dates the song a little better. I heard Joe Heaney did a version of the song, I assume its the same melody. Sean and Joe lived across the field from one another. there is a clip of Sean singing it here:PART FOUR: THE NYAHH. A splendid melody. Supposedly there is no record of Johnny's fight with a Russian sailor in Tierra del Fuego. There are so many details that I'm surprised ther isn't at least some fact to the story.
