Lovely. Thank you for posting this with the lyrics. I am trying to learn the song, and being able to hear and see it at the same time is wonderful!

@spartan135791 Elcid Barret was the captain. It said in the second verse that he called (ie. advertised for) a crew.

@spartan135791 Elcid Barrett is the captain

The "Barrett" in question is the captain, Elcid Barrett, who obtained a Letter Of Marque from the king authorizing his privateer status, so he used the town crier ("cried the town") to persuade the locals to sign up for the adventure...

"Well, antelope poop is a sickening sight
How I wish I was in Sherbrook now. . .
Be it round or flat or so loose it sprays,
To make it takes the antelope two whole days. . ."
--Stan, having some fun with his own song at The Folkway in NH. I have never forgotten seeing him there back in the 80s. What an awesome stage presence!

@AnyaJoan Close, Elcid means "all hail" or something like that, I think.

was looking for the song from Alestorm and found this.

That only applies to comments. This is a video, it's common sense to spell check relentlessly if you intend to keep it up.

@freakinannoying again I say, oh waaa! typo... get over it... As my first video it took me forever and a damn day to get it together and I am NOT messing with it. Deal
