For some reason this song has eluded me all these years. Camilla and I heard it coming from a shop on the Embarcadero. When we asked the storekeeper for a copy of the CD and he said it was sold out. Thanks to the Internet I was able to track down &#8220;Randy Dandy Oh&#8221; and learn it. There is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfstation.com\/sing-sea-chantys-aboard-an-historic-ship-e29154\">sea chantey singing<\/a> on the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Balclutha_%281886%29\">Balclutha<\/a> (pictured above) off the Hyde Street pier the first Saturday of each month so I thought this would be an appropriate song for this month&#8217;s Folk Den since we spent nearly three weeks here in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>I recorded a new version when I got back home, with banjo and one voice doing verses which is more traditional for a capstan chantey.
