Love this song. Reminds me of the great WW II song by the Andrew Sisters, Drinking Rum And Coca Cola. A great, great song ..helped us win World War II. Hank's Whoa Sailor...same vein...but in vain, these days, thanks to the Politically Correct nonsense. I love this song and songs like it.
I was in the 'Fleet' from 1981-1988 before they sent me to shore duty! The pay was better than expected( i guess).....The Liberty was GREAT, from P.I., Korea, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and a few lesser ports.....Then....they sent me back to the US...Fun while it lasted.
Hank was not only a great sounding singer, he came up with some of the most upbeat happiest lyrics ever written, worthy of a Nobel Prize for the Arts in my book. Hank was a great singer, a great composer, and, I believe, a great husband who had a long-long loving relationship with his wife. Hank was much more than Country...he was my kind of man.
