Stan Hugill sang his uncensored version at the Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival in 1988. It resembled Randolph's version but told also of a painful trip to the surgeon. BTW, I suspect the word in the title of "Galloping Randy Dandy-O" that Hugill admits (in "Shanties from the Seven Seas") to have altered was "Galloping." I believe the original was "ballocky" or perhaps "ballocking."
