it has a raw raucus quality that enhances it and rather harkens back to an earlier age. I could envisage the masts and rigging rising through the Mersey mists ... very enjoyable
Good stuff. You've got more talent than most of the people we see on these nonsense X factor-esque freak shows. Oh, and you made me slightly homesick as well!
I loved this. Well done mate, a lovely rendition of an old favorite. I will pass this on to my Irish friends and they will be crying into their guiness.
i watched it bout 10 minutes ago but i drank to much for this day so i think i'll pick it up by tomorrow and one of these days i'll load a vid up for you to check out.
Thanks a lot for what you did, i appreciate that kind of things
Very nice! Their is always a faster gun. Also, this is first and formost an Irish song as this had to do with exodus to the California Gold Rush of Irishment who shipped through Liverpool. The Davy Crockett was a real ship and Burgess died on what was to have been his last cruise before retirement when he was washed overboard off the cape.
Nice version. This song is considered a Liverpool shanty but it has both Irish and American connections because Liverpool as a port had ties with Ireland and America. Liverpool had a large influx of Irish settlers in the 19th Century so there's likely an Irish influence in the song. However the lyrics are about a Liverpool based sailor not an emigrant. Liverpool people usually say the best of the Irish people stayed on here and didn't take the crossing LOL.
@arthurj2520 Rubbish … this is a song about a seaman who has every intention of returning to his hometown and marrying his beloved, he mentions streets and places with a mild affection and even his hopes for the future when he returns.
It seems to be a strange quirk of the Irish to suppose that every song, if once sung by an Irish singer or band automatically becomes an Irish song.
I think this is honestly the best version of this ive come across well done mate
