  • One of my favorite sea shanties. It's difficult to find lyrics for this version of the song, but I believe I managed to get it accurate. Enjoy.
    I do not own the music nor the picture.

    It's pretty interesting that there's actually 2 different versions of this song. One from the POV of the English Man 'O' War and the other from the Pirate perspective. But in both versions the Pirate ship actually loses. The only thing that really changes is what the captains said to each other.

    DELIGHTFUL! I savor the contrast between the jaunty tune, energetically sung, and the sad fate of the pirates. Nice work!

    So, the pirates are lying about not being pirates, right?
    Does that mean the whole ‘we have letters to be carried home by you’ is the navy calling their bluff?
    while at the same time, getting them to furl up their sails and slow down (heave) their vessel?

      I thought perhaps that could be the pirates saying that, and by letters, they mean cannon fire.

    This song actually has a Czech cover version by Asonance, it's called Barbarské pobřeží.

      As far as I'm aware, this song is from the Navy's point of view. So the Navy won.
