Sea Shanty #23

Words and Music by Tim Horrigan

I had a boat named The Merry Anne
Shake her down me hearties
I sailed her out of Newfoundland
Shake her all the way down

With a crew of 10 to the east we set
Shake her down me hearties
The winter winds hit hard and wet
Shake her all the way down

Chorus:
Call for the fiddle and a dram
Captain of this realm I am
With these two legs I’ll stand
On the mighty north Atlantic

We lost Bill when a wave went rogue
Shake her down me hearties
I’ll miss his jokes and his Irish brogue
Shake her all the way down

I can’t say Stuart was worth his salt
Shake her down me hearties
But that lightning strike t’were not his fault
Shake her all the way down.

Chorus:
Call for the fiddle and a dram
Captain of this realm I am
With these two legs I’ll stand
On the mighty north Atlantic

The waves they crested through the night
Shake her down me hearties
We were down to three come the morning light
Shake her all the way down

The three of us could barely stand
Shake her down me hearties
Through the glass I swear I saw Greenland
Shake her all the way down

Chorus:
Call for the fiddle and a dram
Captain of this realm I am
With these two legs I’ll stand
On the mighty north Atlantic
