The story behind this song is interesting. Sailors were actually referring to sails of different sizes, in this 'call and response' song. The biggest sail was "me father," the next largest "mother," etc. So, despite any attempts to be humorously sacreligious here, the sailors actually did "hang for money, hurting no humans,or "never hanging nobody," as they claimed.
What are they singing about?

GBS is incredible on their own, as is Gaelic Storm, But these two groups can NOT harmonize.
