Don’t Forget Your Old Shipmate
(traditional, arrang. J. Ferguson, 2021)
V1.
Safe and sound at home again, let the waters roar, Jack.
Safe and sound at home again, let the waters roar, Jack.
Chorus:
Long we've tossed on the rolling main; now we're safe ashore, Jack.
Don't forget your old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!
V2.
Since we sailed from Plymouth Sound, four years gone, or nigh, Jack.
Was there ever chummies, now, such as you and I, Jack?
V3.
We have worked the self-same gun, quarterdeck division.
Sponger I and loader you, through the whole commission.
V4.
Oftentimes have we laid out, toil nor danger fearing,
tugging out the flapping sail to the weather earing.
V5.
When the middle watch was on, and the time went slow, boy,
who could choose a rousing stave, who like Jack or Joe, boy?
V6.
There she swings, an empty hulk, not a soul below now.
Number seven starboard mess misses Jack and Joe now.
V7.
But the best of friends must part, fair or foul the weather.
Hand your flipper for a shake, now a drink together.

    I really like the look you give us at the end there. Like: _"I did it, I sang this song you guys requested, you happy now?"_ 😅

    Absolutely spectacular version of a traditional tune. A favourite - and another Canadian to boot! Glorious rendition and perfect harmonies. Makes every good pirate at heart long to head back to the sea.

    @@niteowl9491 Hands down my favourite film. Saw it in theatres when I was 15 and I remember not wanting it to end. Such an insanely underrated film. I actually felt like I had travelled back in time to a different place and time in history. I am yet to find another film that makes me feel the way Master and Commander made me feel.

    One of my favorite sea shanties of all time, and this is the best version I’ve heard! Makes me want to go to sea, and hoist the mainsail, brace up and haul aft, get scurvy, and all the rest of it.
