“Sink The Bismark” was a big one too.

“When it’s spring time in Alaska it’s 40 below”. Great singer who died way too young. IIRC his wife was married to Hanks Sr at one time.

At the wheel sit a big man, he weighed about two-ten
He stuck out his hand and said with a grin
“Big Joe’s the name”, I told him mine
And he said: “The name of my rig is Phantom 309.”

Love that song. A real piece of Americana.

The tune is taken from an old fiddle tune entitled “8th of January.” That day, in 1815 is when the Battle of New Orleans was fought.
