Thread Name: Improbable songs, unlikely singers
Subject: RE: BS: Improbable songs, unlikely singers
Did a bit of chasing around, and found the lyrics of what I take to be the main song belfast was talking about. (I found a link to an mp3 ot Johnny Horton singing it too, but I decided against downloading it.)

Assuming they're his lyrics and it's his song - because they were on a site relating to a version of it by someone else - he was clearly a very messed-up man when he wrote it. I can see why they leave it off that discography on the link I gave, which has songs like Woody Guthrie's Sinking of the Reuben James.

There are some pretty nasty things and pretty nasty people out there in the byways of the net.
