</a> <br></br>I picked up a copy of Shanties from the Seven Seas collected by Stan Hugill for 50p last week.<br></br>
It's a smashing book, and prompted my to take a stab at this well known shanty. I was also enthused to pick up my old Cadbury's tin guitar after re-posting my Merle Haggard vid.<br></br>

</a><br />I picked up a copy of Shanties from the Seven Seas collected by Stan Hugill for 50p last week.<br />
It's a smashing book, and prompted my to take a stab at this well known shanty. I was also enthused to pick up my old Cadbury's tin guitar after re-posting my Merle Haggard vid.<br />
<br />
I'm plugged into my little amp and have added a little reverb. Unfortunately I didn't see fit to move the amp from behind me to a position closer to the camera, therefore most of the sound is disappearing up my ample ass!<br />
<br />
Lyrics (I got a few wrong...Should have worn my spectacles!)<br />
<br />
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,<br />
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain.<br />
For we have received orders for to sail to old England.<br />
But we hope in a short time to see you again.<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
We'll rant and we'll roar, like true British sailors,<br />
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas.<br />
'Till we strike soundings in the Channel of old England,<br />
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues.<br />
<br />
We hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'west, boys,<br />
We hove our ship to, for to take soundings clear.<br />
In fifty-five fathoms with a fine sandy bottom,<br />
We filled up our maintops'l, up channel did steer.<br />
<br />
The first land we made was a point called the Deadman,<br />
Next Ramshead off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight.<br />
We sailed then by Beachie, by Fairlee and Dover,<br />
Then bore straight away for the South Foreland Light.<br />
<br />
Now the signal was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor,<br />
We clewed up our top'ls, struck out tacks and sheets.<br />
We stood by our stoppers, we brailed in our spankers,<br />
And anchored ahead of the noblest of fleets.<br />
<br />
Let every man here drink up his full bumper,<br />
Let every man here drink up his full bowl.<br />
And let us be jolly and drown melancholy,<br />
Drink a health to each jovial an' true-hearted souls. Mama Tried - Merle Haggard R.I.P.tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2016-04-07:2592684:Video:25647802016-04-07T15:18:27.958ZVinylhedhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/HedleyBrown

Very important that it has totally a unique live listening experience!!"<br />
