proper shanty recoded live at the Holcombe Head outdoor singing emporium shany studio.
leave I a comment afore Davey has yer tongue.
Well a hundred years on the East~ern shore.
Oh yes, Oh
Oh, a hundred years on the Eastern shore.
A Hundred years ago
Oh when I sailed a~cross the sea.
Me girl said she would be true to me.
I promised her a golden ri~ng.
She promised me a little fury thing.
Now it’s up aloft this yard must g~o.
It was Mister Mate who told me so.
I wish to God I’d never been bo~rn.
To go Rambling round and round Cape Horn.
A-round Cape Stiff with frozen sail~s.
A-round Cape Horn To Fish for whales.
Oh Bully John from Balti-mo~re.
I knew him well that son of a whore.
Oh Bully John was the boy for me~e.
A Buckle on land and a Bully at sea.
Oh Bully John I knew him we~ll.
But now he’s dead and gone to Hell.
And they used to say the stars are ligh-ted
By a bunch of angels every other night- a
Well its been a long time and a very long ti~me
Its been hell of a time since I made this rhyme
And they used to say that the moon was made of che~ese
Well you can believe it if you damn well please
Well I thought I heard the old man sa~ay.
Well it's one more pull and then belay
Oh a full jug of ale for all who can.
And don’t you forget that Friggin Shantyman
