Dear LaMarca,

I've got the June Tabor recording at home, but I've always been under the impression that it's a sea song about taking leave from the lure and the ladies of another port town.

I'll give it a close listen in the next day or two and see if I can jot down my best take on the lyrics. Meanwhile, if anyone's got the definitive lyrics or the story behind the tune, please pass'em along.
