From: Nick E On the CD Ryan's Fancy, Songs From The Show there is a song titled as above, the tune is alternately known as Rant & Roar, Yankee Whalermen, Ladies of Spain and I would not be surprised if a few more. What I can not figure for the life of me is why this title for this version? The song mentions neither Ryans nor Pitmans. Any Ideas? |
