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!

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
-
its a great hauling song
-
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.

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.

though its alright prefer Bert Lloyds version to this

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



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