I agree that Stan Rogers's version is the best, but I love hearing The Corries sing it :)
-
@JJJur Stan Rogers' version is not only the original but the best.
-
Not as good as the original.....
-
That's not true, most sailed out of Bristol, plymouth & London and towards the end Liverpool.

Sweet mercy, im sure these guys are talented but this is supposed to be a tankard swilling, shout it out sea shanty! These guys sing it like they are performing for geriatrics, check out Stan Rodgers for the origional version the way it was supposed to be sung.
-
I think they would make stan rogers proud with this version
-
I want the Real McKenzies version of this song! They performed it live in Amsterdam as an opening to their gig, it was AWESOME! Paul McKenzies voice is so right for this song!

@TANTRIK21 take it your not Canadian! @sechs1983 i can see were you comming from but im true to the man !@ endora60 yes you are right in a way and i do see what your saying .



I like the Cories a lot, but they have gentle sweetness that doesn't quite convey the anger of a guy who's lost both legs and six years of his life to a stupid misadventure. Stan's version is not as pretty, but a lot stronger.

I know this is a bit heretical, but I actually like the Corries' version better than the original.
