Sea of Thieves Shanty Sung by The Longest Johns | Bosun Bill 

I'd love to see Rare add you guys as NPC's at New Golden Sands that sing at the tavern on that new stage.

As a reaper runner I can confirm this is a certified hood classic

Be wary, if you continue down that road, you will become a part of the game. Four sentient coconuts singing at the bottom of the sea. Or just maybe merfolk characters.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO THIS SONG FOREVER, I LOVE THAT YOU GUYS DID THIS, IT'S AWESOME!

I hope Rare certifies this as the "official" version

I used to think bosun bill would be this really cool pirate that did a lot of cool things. My dreams are shattered, thank you

As an island hopper myself (making it to pirate legend just by picking stuff up from islands I stop at) this just hits different. Being plundered by others while just having a few things on me. Bosun Bill is exactly who I am.

/Bosun Bill - The Longest Johns Cover\ [Chorus 1] Bosun Bill was known throughout the port, A truly dreadful pirate who was always getting caught. Not one scheme for stealing could he hatch, 'Cause someone would spot the treasure he'd got and Bill they'd snatch. [Verse 1] One day, Bill awoke lying on a distant beach, The last of his grog was just out of reach. He groped around with trembling hands, And struck something in the sand. He stumbled upon a part, Of an ancient chart. Stained and torn, the old map told, The way to find a stash of buried gold, so... [Chorus 2] Bosun Bill set out to find a crew, But everyone he asked replied, "I'll never sail with you!". 'Til, at last, he plied a man with ale, To lend him his craft, a rickety raft, then Bill set sail. [Verse 2] All by himself, Bill trembled in the dark, He lost both his boots and hat to a shark. He followed the chart 'til, at last, he saw, The gleam of a far-off shore. The trail led him to a cave, Silent as the grave. Bill stood gaping at what he saw, A hoard of treasure piled from roof to floor! [Bridge] Bosun Bill stuffed treasure into his sack, He loaded up the boat, but he heard a mighty crack. He'd taken too much plunder when he should have kept it light, The raft and all the gold sank out of sight... [Chorus 3] So Bosun Bill let out a terrible curse! He'd had a chance at glory, but he'd only come out worse, To this day, he's trapped on the island still, Not very clever, the worst pirate ever, is Bosun Bill!

It happening, they are gonna sing about Bosun Bill, the worst pirate ever!!!!!! Wonder if We shall Sail Together is next

Would be great to see Joli Rouge, Northwest Passage, Old moke pickin' on a banjo and Eli the Barrow boy in the next album

I've been so looking forward to this!! It's me and my friends' favorite tune to play in SoT!

I once learned to play this song for a piano concert I had a few years ago. It's nice to finally have a version worthy of being on my USB-playlist! (Along with basically all your other songs)

this NEEDS to be on spotify

Absolutely amazing. Favourite shanty from SOT from the best shanty band out there!

What PERFECT lyrics for the Perfect Pirate Game! this is so good!

Now im just waiting for you guys to cover "we shall sail together" and I'll be truly happy

I feel bad for bosun bill

This is a certified tavern classic

No pirate game is complete without a truly satisfying shanty, and you guys nailed it

A very adequate cover! Wonder if Bill's treasure is still there for the taking...

This was adequately delightful. It’s a popular game in our house, and it’s how we found you. So it’s fun to see that connection continue. (Watch to the end for JD’s head lolling back and forth in the sand)

would be cool if there was a quest to collect all the heads of The Longest Johns and while you have 'em on the boat they sing along with the instruments

This is pure genius 🤣 You were able to take the tune from Sea of Thieves and turn it into a legitimate shanty! You guys have got to be the best pirates I've ever seen! 👏

Lads this was truly adequate work as normal! They need to recruit the group for some in game renditions of these shanties, Maybe have the Longest Johns in Athena's Fortune replacing the normal ghostly band? One can dream.. Keep up the good work everyone!!! Much love from Papa Bear

Man this is absolutely amazing ! Great work :D

Love your rendition of the SoT classic! Always enjoy listening to your shanties.

as a SoT sweat, this brought a tear to me one good eye! I'm pulling up to Wanderer's Refuge to save this chap!

You guys can always surprise me. This is amazing!

I would love you to cover the "Stitchers Sorrow" since you are covering Sea of Thieves songs with Lyrics every now and then. Anyway fantastic job with the song and especially with the video by using all the different emotes!

Finally, the biggest cover of this I’ve seen, with full vocals and instrumentals!! Yayyyyy

Awesome song! I love these sea of thieves songs with vocals

yippee thats one of my favorite songs from sea of thieves, glad to see a cover and its really great as usual :)

This is my all time favorite song to play in SoT while sailing. Now imma hear yalls voices every time I play it on the Ole Gurdy! Very adequate indeed!

I love you guys so much! This made my week!

they should add a Chest Of Weight as a new cursed chest. visibly made of solid gold, so heavy you can't jump or swim and it sinks in water, as well as, of course, damaging rowboats to carry and if you place it on your ship it have a chance to cause a hole in the hull.

This was great, I'm excited to see you guys in Haarlem this april!

Love this! such an awesome rendition. Blew my cover out of the water 😂

FINALLY THIS SONG!!! im so happy now! you guys made my day 😍 will you also record “We shall sail together” in the future?

This song plundered into my ears and now find itself being sung by myself

I'm still looking forward to We shall sail together, as well as the other lyrical shanties, marvelous work sailors!

Made my day. Enough said.

I was hoping you'd do this! Hooray!

Bravo!! Well done, pirates! Awesome shanty!

My buddy and I always aggressively hum this song, so to hear you fine fellows covering it just tickles me in all the right ways.

I love this, it sounds like a shanty a group/the whole room would sing in a bar about a legend from many crew and pirates alike

Lots of yall forget this song actually always had lyrics

Thank you, i have been waiting for this for so long. The Reapers call, so i must go!

The Longest Johns doing my favorite shanty from the game?! Count. Me. IN!!!!

My pirate heart is happy, THANK YOU FELLAS!! SAIL HAPPILY!

Awesome.

Love this nice work

from the devil`s roar to the shores of plenty the whole sea was waiting for this banger to drop, the tavern is hyped. Bottoms up! Aye!

Amazing!

Now this song makes me sad when I hear it. Poor Bill...

AT LAST! THANK YOU!

This is so much fun to watch 🙂

This is awesome 👏🏻

I watch this video by the people who made it originally I'm glad that you guys decided to finally sing it

this song got me to redownload the game after a long time away, cant wait till the day yall get a song in game!!!

I love this song i would listen to it for 10 hours

Bro I've played hrs of this just so I can relax n listen to ur music all night till morning oak ash n thorn and wayfaring stranger goes great with the game to

Great work lads!

Rare should add their heads sticking out of the sand signing on some outpost

YEEEEEEAH THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Love the video boys... Love from Danmark

WHY IS THIS SO GOOD!!??!

Brilliant!

That was awesome

I would love to see a version of stitchers sorrow!!

We getting off the Ferry of the Damned with this one maties!

That outro, though! 😆

Any chance of a new recording of My Son John? Its absolutely one of my favorites. Great work as always!

This is amazing!

Heavy catJAM vibes. Outstanding job lads

This is amazing! Bit late, but still I’ve always wanted some solid lyrics for this one!

Would love to get this on spotify

I would love to hear Sticher's Sorrow done by you guys!

Love it

WOW, this was EPIC

Oct 10th Loved the end scene too. Hilarious 😂

I love how you all are always disembodied skulls lol

I love The Longest Johns

This was a big part of my dream last night and idk why

i love it

Perfect performance! I'll save It in my favorite song

That's Awesome guys☠️⚓️🛶🌴

I can no longer play this song in-game without huming the lyrics along... I need this on Spotify. I really do.

While I was listening a meg spawned

I may be wrapped in battle as a Servant, but who's to say I can't enjoy a tune here and there? Good on yous, lads!

I love how this is a metaphor for the gold hoarder

I hope to have the Longest Johns as singing busts/head decorations on my ships to sing the lyrics to the songs we play in the game! Surely it shall be!

Phenomenal job boys. I did not know that this shanty could get better,but I'm so thankful to be proven wrong.

I'd love to hear you guys cover Ballad of the Mer

One word : bravo

best episode of praewither yet

If you haven’t already, Stitcher’s Sorrow would be a great one to do next!

Sinking with full of treasure, very relatable 😢

Very nice

I like the end when the head manages to flip himself. Poor guy

I'll join Bosun Bill's crew.
