To the New York Trader I did belong
She was fit for sea both stout and strong
Well manned, well rigged, well fit for sea
Bound for New York in Amerikay
On the 4th of March we did set sail
All on a sweet and a pleasant gale
With hearts undaunted we set for sea
Bound for New York in Amerikay
Our cruel captain as we did find
Left half of our provisions behind
Our cruel captain, you’ll understand
Meant to starve us all before we reached the land
As our captain in his cabin lay
A voice came to him and this did say
"Prepare yourself and ship's company,
For tomorrow night you must lie with me"
Our captain woke in a terrible fright
It being the first part of the night
Loud for his bosun he did call
To him related the secrets all
"Bosun" says he, "it does grieve my heart
To think I have acted the villain’s part
To take what was not my lawful due
For to starve the passengers and the ship’s crew”
"There’s one thing more I have to tell
When I in Waterford town did dwell
I killed my master, a merchant there
All for the sake of his lady fair
I killed my wife and children three
All for that cursed jealousy
And on my servant I lay the blame
And he was hanged in grief and shame"
“Oh captain, captain, if that be so
Pray let none of the ship’s crew know
But keep that secret all in your breast
And pray the Lord may grant you rest"
The very next morning a storm did rise
Which to our seamen did much surprise
The seas came over both fore and aft
Till scarce one man on deck was left
And then the bosun he did declare
The captain was a murderer
This so enraged the whole ship's crew
They overboard our captain threw
All of a sudden a calm was there
Our good little ship onwards did steer
The winds abated and calmed the seas
And we sailed on for Amerikay
And when we reached that New York shore
Our good little ship for to repair
The people wondered much to see
Such a poor distressed and shipwreck crew were we
So sailors all where’er you be
A warning pray you take by me
As you love your life won’t yous take good care
And never go sailing with a murderer
this is shaping up to be my favourite Lankum album, perfectly dark, foreboding, lyrical, the drone! and that reel to end all the atmosphere - perfect! go raibh míle maith agat, Lankum
If you haven't heard already. Ian Lynch has a solo album under the name One Leg One Eye on Bandcamp that is excellent as well...
Hitting crazy new heights every time. Whenever I find myself in that old man type mindset of 'Music is gone to the dogs', Lankum and a few other bands remind me I'm just full of shit and it's still truly alive and kicking.
Agreed! Could you share your 'other bands'...?
@@jh7574 Some of the favourites right now. Lisa O Neill and The Mary Wallopers from Ireland. And outside of Ireland obsessed with Idles and Wet Leg these days.
☺️
Hey people, check Jim Ghedy too, hes great
right on!
That pause in the middle of the song and then the next big entry kicked my ass in the most pleasing way.
I had to look at the track playing, thinking that was a quick seven mins
Yeah you can really hear their metal influence there.
agree all the way...my 10 year old daughter loves it when I play this song.
Listening to this for the 72nd time this week
That instrumental at the end SLAPS!
Genius, GENIUS, GENIUS. The musicianship is off the scale. Radie's playing is like superwoman joining in. Her mastery of her instruments is just uncanny. Her use of these amazing instruments is like the reinforced concrete underpinning the band. Most others have mere sand underneath them. This is music with steel.
Ian's voice seems so well suited for this song, so good.
Een zoveelste meesterlijk gebracht lied. En wat zijn die teksten gewelddadig!
This is the reimagination of trad. It's extraordinary.
Lethal. Can't wait to hear this stuff live.
Good the Lankum, magic 'don't want the track to end. . . oh it's blown me knackers off', ingredient is there
Unexpected and welcomed!! Proper shouters, indeed!!!!
Shit man, you are REALLY doing it now. Monster.
Brilliant 👏 we will all be 💃 🕺 at the gigs 💜
Can’t wait to see those backing vocals live ❤
Just ordered the album. This is not set to be a predictable ride, thenk god!
Wonderful, yet another amazing track from this wonderful band, thankyou for your music and song Lankum
Such beautiful haunting delivery of songs and music, just carries you away. Wonderful❤
6:05 gives me chills everytime.
OMG this is so perfect. Cannot wait for my False Lankum CD!!
Love it...Lookin forward to the new doubler LP and Irish shows. Thanks!
This is fantastic! Well played 😍
I love this. Incredible stuff.
Savage stuff. Properly heavy with the weight of it.
Just stunning
Gets better with every listen
OMG!!! Intense and Immense! 😮
Epic vibe on this , will listen again

This record is already my favorite of the year ❤
here. for. this.
Yasssssss
!!! TOP BUZZ !!!
My grandad lived in New York during the 1930s early 1940s! He had to leave due a shooting of Italian hoodlum. As he was in the merchant seaman ....He got on the SS Ferguson ( 12 hours out of pearl harbour) .....
3.22.... jaysus wept ...the perfect amount of Celtic darkness.
Wowowowowowowwwww
Fuckin love this.
Great song. Please post lyrics.
OMG that was freaking amazing! What's the name of that reel?
The Big Black Cat!
@@nicholascooper1989 ta!
The music is as strong as ever, but this video smacks of machine intelligence to me. Organic rules!
normally I'd agree but that juxtaposition fits the song's themes imo, folk and industrial, Irish and American
Christ! The 3:22 moment, my brain's never been gripped so hard by a sound.
gwan the lankum
I bet they're amazing live? Would love to see them in concert.
Anyone know if this video is AI generated. It's class. The tune is next level though. Gonna see this live in 2024 and cannae wait
It looks to be a 3D render with a filter overlaid on top, so not AI generated.
Once again.......
What's a false lankum?
Pretty sure its one of the Childs ballads ua-cam.com/video/nc-OqL8peSo/v-deo.html
as far as I can tell, if something's false lankum it means "much ado about nothing" or too much fuss over a false alarm
Epic. Wasn't prepared for the scale and ambition of it. And the musicianship!
for the ill ridden who won't see this out, don't fall overboard
Wankum ...
This sounds god aweful
Ireland Return to the Truth, Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life 🙏✝️🙏
Shh
Amen brother.
That would be False Lankum, John
Aye, right.
If Ireland doesn't Repent and Return to Jesus Christ, you will be swallowed up by Islam, and Irish culture will be No more! Oxford professor Coleman as stated by the year 2066 UK will be in the minority in their own land. But heed this Ireland is calculated a lot sooner. Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life ✝️
