I know I've heard it, but it's just not comin' to me. I think the lyrics talk about a sailor who was horribly abused aboard a ship. Forced to eat things which the composer will not say is something I think I specifically remember.

Anyone out there who can help me on this one?

Thanks

Keith-

It's definately the ballad about Andrew Rose, not a Willy or a Billy. Click here: Lyr Add: THE ORDEAL OF ANDREW ROSE
