Heave Away Me Johnny

Mody Dick, what a great film, my dad played a part in this, sid strowger was his name never forget it

[dfkkelley]

this and Paddy West are the sounds of my childhood! We used to sing these as we sailed on Lake Michigan - heck I lost my front baby teeth sailing in a storm! Thanks for sharing this!

[sillyg900]

its a great hauling song

[Krzysztex]

There's also a polish version of this chantey.

To leci jakoś tak:

"Hej chłopcy, czas już wyjść w morze...

Będziemy pić jeszcze nie raz,

Wypływamy dziś przed zachodem,

Ocean zaprasza nas... :)"

5/5 for this song.

[jselvy2]

There is probably a version of this in any language that has ever provided sailors. This is one of the most basic pulley-hauley tunes

[patoneil]

though its alright prefer Bert Lloyds version to this

[hultonclint]

Definitely -- Lloyd's is more realistic. I do think the Clancy Bros were great singers, but this little "ditty" is kinda ridiculous as a chantey.

[SANDSER]

What a fucking unreal song..Liam Clancy almost rivals Luke Kelly as a singer..

[ernstbecker1]

@SANDSER Talent and more talent for the both of them. MAY THE GOOD GOD HOLD THEM IN HIS HANDS FOR ALL ETERNITY !

if you watch the old moby dick movie, the part with this song is brilliant.
