My suppositions have nothing to do with it. My doctor prescribed those things under an entirely different issue. Now... more to the point is that those lyrics to that song are the very same JimJimmers recited. One.in.the.same. The poem with Woody Guthrie's name in it was my own which I'm thinking about having copyrighted since it's Chaucer-esque, I've been told. So now, what I've said has been endorsed by JimJimmers, Woody Guthrie, and Dropkick Murphey.
Except for 17Bees, none of the posters above me are right. The sailor lost his flesh-and-blood leg by getting it caught in a rope. Now he has to go to Boston to get a wooden leg.
As any sound argument needs 2 legs to stand on, one of reason and the other of Scriptures, here are a couple of verses to substantiate my argument -
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
John 11:35 - Jesus wept.
For the purpose of keeping the sanctity of this thread, I encourage you all to only quote the KJV. Also, this debate should edify us, therefore let us not enter into name-calling and fist-fights.

Wow. Dropkick Murphey, right here in the texting flesh.
This post sounds an awful lot like the endorsement so many legalistic Christians seem to think they have:
"Hello.
This is God. I fully endorse (insert name of person here) because he/she is right about absolutely everything.
Never question he/she because he/she understands Me perfectly and is able to interpret 100% of what I say 110% of the time.
Please just note that if you do so happen to agree with (insert name of person here), I shall strike you down with lightning.
Perhaps several times, just for good measure.
Again, do not disagree with (insert name here.) After all, he/she is my one and only true prophet.
Feel free to ignore the rumbling thunder in the background, and have a blessed day.
Thank you,
God."

You're quite correct Chris, and as below scripture indicates, it was common for early sailors to refer to their legs as "her'.
Acts 27:32 | Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
P
You are all so clearly wrong how do you not see it? It wasn't a person in this poem but a peg. A sailor peg to be precise which is what is used to reef the sails and thereby control the speed of the ship. A sailor peg that's lost it's wooden leg is one that has been snapped in two, usually in a storm. So the text is really talking about a storm damaged ship that is limping back to port for repairs. Boston is used allegorically here as representative of all ports since it was the largest and most well known port at the time this text was written. And the lesson it teaches us is that when the storms of life batter us we must return to Jesus, our safe harbor so he can restore us.
You all clearly don't know anything about textual analysis, either that or you're all heathens.

Ummm... I heard there were no wooden legs in Boston. Factory closed shop and opened up in Beirut. He may have to go this Route. And its Scriptural too. Perhaps he could have just placed an order too. Amazon got plenty.
"So give orders that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me. My men will work with yours, and I will pay you for your men whatever wages you set. You know that we have no one so skilled in felling timber as the Sidonians." 1 Kings 5:6

Wow, Señor Duck, I didn't think of that. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Beloved, when we read the following verses, we come to know what happened when the sailors cut off their legs.
Acts 27:41 "And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground"
The sailors had to endure a miserable plight of carrying their ship and running (erm, limping) through land. This was because they could not climb up the masts to host the sails (they all chopped off their legs, remember?). Scholars say that they encouraged themselves by singing this refrain -
This is how we run aground
Run aground, run aground
This is how we run aground
All day long.
Sorry, but this is an erroneous teaching. Be it known to you that Beirut was the name of a calf that participated in the annual cow race in Lebanon. They sold no legs in Lebanon as everybody took to their heels when the cows raced.
1 Kings 5:14 "And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in relays..."
Psalms 29:6 "He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf...."

So apparently the Mel/L team will consist of Melita and Lynx each sitting in opposite corners...
Trying to keep their chocolate away from each other.
I don't think we'll have to worry about your team being much of a threat.
You'll be too busy hoarding food, like squirrels in winter.
