American work/folk song Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill. Great funny song. I rewrote it into a sea shanty, and maybe I'll upload that version some day.

  • No. Please don't try and turn this song into a sea shanty.

    Sea shanties are authentic work songs from the sea.

    You can't even make a good job of it in its original style.

  • I don't respond to comments but this one's so dumb. What makes it a shanty? That I threw in extra chords for variety? What exactly is the original style? Played on an old cat-gut strung guitar sung by a man with no sense of pitch or intonation? I know my singing is bad, but apparently not bad enough to please aficionados like you who dream of eating beans around a fire, teaching hobos music you clearly know absolutely nothing about. I guess my Frank Zappa renditions are modern day hootenannies?

  • I think it's great--very authentic!

  • @uvcmusic I think he is referring to the strum pattern or possibly the speed.

  • Um... I'm confused. I thought it was "We work all day without sugar in our tea, as we work on the CP Railway"? CP being the Canadian Pacific. Since I was a kid, Thats how I've always heard it sung, as a work song from Newfoundland.

  • my orchestra for my school i s doing a song similar to this

  • uvc

    WHERE ARE THE FLOWERS GONE ?

    lol

  • "Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill" composed in 1888 by Charles Connolly and Thomas Casey. The song is a work song, and makes references to the construction of the American railroads in the mid-19th century.

    In the early 1960's, Pete Seeger took the lyrics from an old Ukrainian folk song mentioned in the Russian novel And Quiet Flows the Don (1934) and the music from "Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill" to create the folk song "Where Have All the Flowers Gone " ?

  • I liked your version. Go ahead with the sea shanty. Everyone's a critic.
