First heard this on AC Black Flag, I worked as an electrician at the time and any task we had to all 4 of us to work together I'd belt out old sea shanties to keep us in rhythm. By the end of the month we all sang and knew every word. Now there are 3 crews out there working electrical singing sea shanties.
I also first heard in on Black Flag, my favorite game of the AC series. My favorite shanty was the Row Boys Row one. We would sing those all day long. Shanties are back due to Covid, I heard, to deal with stress!
..served in the german navy, guess what we were forced to do after hours in bootcamp 🙂 Beer in hand, the whole platoon sat in the basement and learned the shanties :) Never had i felt such a strong loyalty to a superior again i was just a spark (morse & teletype/radio comms - when i was discharged , the job of "radio officer" was dead.., and there went my civil shipboard career down to neptun, they call it progress that there is no more quick interaction in cases of emergency.... unless youre in VHF range)
For those of you coming here because of AC Black Flag, you need to check out Stan's other stuff because he was amazing, sadly he's no longer with us, but his son, Nathan Rogers still is and sings many of his songs. Sounds just like his pap.
Garnet (his brother and "partner in crime" as he describes him on Home in Halifax) also still plays. Generally small coffee shops and such, but worth seeing if you like Stan. Nathan has some big shoes to fill as both a musician and a human being. If you can find the documentary "One Warm Line" it's well worth watching.
+Porter Daniels AC Black Flag got me into sea shanties, and down the road I discovered about Stan Rogers. I had no idea he did this song until just recently, it was quite a surprise.
I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but if you came here and you're new to Stan Rogers, you need to look up a documentary called One Warm Line. It's amazing. My distant Canadian heritage always sheds a tear when I watch it.
This song is a live recording done in Chicago at a benefit concert for the folk magazine, come for to sing held at holsteins tavern, it is filled with warmth and enthusiasm stan's audiences and fellow performers felt for him. Stan is obviously having a great time! He is joined on stage for this finale piece by all the performers at the benefit.
Love this! But I fell asleep with my headphones on and had a dream that a bunch of people were visiting me and someone started singing this song and then we all joined in on the chorus in beautiful harmony. Nice dream.
If Stan was still here with us I would hope he would do a show with Nathan and garnet that would be epic! But check out Nathan rogers singing northwest passage! Badass RIP Stan
I saw Stan perform years ago here in Seattle. Great performance. I was touched that he called home to his wife at the break on a pay phone. I got the sense he was not only a great singer/songwriter, but a good man. That was born out by his efforts to rescue people off that fiery plane where he ended up losing his own life in the process. Does anyone know where and when this photo was taken? It looks quite a bit like the shoreline at Alki Beach in West Seattle. Perhaps it was taken when he was performing here?
If you came here from AC4, then it's twice as important to listen to Stan's badass privateer song: "Barrett's Privateers" Sung by Canadian Folk Music Legend Stan Rogers (One Warm Line, Documentary)
It features another incredible based out of Newfoundland called Ryan's Fancy. They also have a long catalog of originals and traditional music that if you like this you'll also like them.
I’m probably one of the few my age who heard the Stan Rogers version of this song and not the AC Black Flag one. Stan Rogers was a great musical storyteller. Checkout his other work.
I thought I heard the old man say, "Leave her, Johnny, leave her, It's a long, hard pull to the next payday And it's time for us to leave her". Chorus: Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her, For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow, And it's time for us to leave her! Oh, the winds were foul and the work was hard, Leave her, Johnny, leave her! From the Liverpool dock to the London yard And it's time for us to leave her. Chorus: Leave her, Johnny, leave her He'd blow you down with a spike and a curse, And it's time for us to leave her. Chorus: It was rotten meat and moldy bread, Leave her, Johnny, leave her! You'd eat it or you'd starve to death, And it's time for us to leave her. Chorus: Well it's time for us to say goodbye, Leave her, Johnny, leave her, For now those pumps are all pumped dry, And it's time for us to leave her. Chorus:
You know, I used to check the list on the right for other versions of songs I listened to to see if I could find a better version. I long ago quit checking the list on any songs that Stan Rogers sang. Just no point in it.
@@johnhall1001 it was traditionally sung when they arrived in port, as a goodbye to the ship. Listen to the lyrics, they are all about the ship. johnny was a common name for sailors which is why a lot of songs use it
@bitterballoffrogs But Nathan isn't his father, and he has his own path to take. If he started doing music in the same style as Stan, he'd forever be compared to his father, and what are the chances people would accept Nathan as a substitute for Stan? Enjoy the music Stan left us, and appreciate Nathan in his own right.
@Xeno426 Your right of course, but I still feel this young man could be a inspriation to the working people of the world I know how much pride Stans music instilled in me as a working man... Why won't the son continue in the working class tradition of the father ? Guess the obvious answer is that the Dude is not working class........

that sounds like a sight to behold! Awesome!

Northwest Passage should be the Canadian National Anthem

I'm the last of barrett's privateer who wanna roll down to old Maui
Wait what? I haven't played AC in forever, that's awesome if it's true.
Oh the Stan Rogers version is incredible. There's something soul touching in the sound of his voice in any song he ever sang. He left us far too soon.
No need to search around for the best version of any of these traditional old songs. Just find Stan's version. Listen. You're done.
Rikki0 Johnny Collins has a good version as well
I was insanely excited when I saw this in my suggestions! I had no idea Stan did this song!
Same
I listened to it from 3 days and I just can't stop opening it .I just love his voice may God have mercy on his soul all the respect to stan rogers
If you close your eyes and really listen, you can see Stan singing.
as an American (with CDN roots) I am blown away by the talent of this man. Why did he have to die on that plane?

Long shot, but do you know who the other performers were? Those female vocals are teasingly familiar...
Love this! But I fell asleep with my headphones on and had a dream that a bunch of people were visiting me and someone started singing this song and then we all joined in on the chorus in beautiful harmony. Nice dream.
Such a Lovely voice.
Stan, I can't help but wish I could've known you. You 'left her' far too soon...
Gods, what a singer. Thank you, Stan Rogers.
If Stan was still here with us I would hope he would do a show with Nathan and garnet that would be epic! But check out Nathan rogers singing northwest passage! Badass RIP Stan
+pudops ~ Yes it would be epic indeed!!
+pudops ~ Yes it would be epic indeed!!
+pudops Thank you for posting this, didn't know about Nathan. Sounds so much like Stan.
DarkLordRoto he's Stan rogers 2.0 in my opinion
It's a pumping song. the ship had to be pumped rocked and rolled before the crew was paid.
I saw Stan perform years ago here in Seattle. Great performance. I was touched that he called home to his wife at the break on a pay phone.

I thought I heard Stan Rogers say, beaver, Bonnie, beaver...
This song is fantastic. I love Stan.

I've just watched Mayday / Air crash investigation and discovered this man. After all those horrible scenes atleast this great song made my day.

How have I not seen this yet
I'm foreign, is the song about the guys leaving a boat right? Not a girl...
In truth probably a play on words, so in truth both the Ship and a women in some far off port!
@@johnhall1001 it was traditionally sung when they arrived in port, as a goodbye to the ship. Listen to the lyrics, they are all about the ship. johnny was a common name for sailors which is why a lot of songs use it
good song good pirate captain
A big thumbs up from an "old salt."
I love this.
Assassin's creed Black flag bring me here xD
Just good job

Meilleur version 😍
So true.
Still here in 2018
does anyone know who the descant soprano is? (Or any of the other singers? I can only make out Garnet, bless).
1 dislike? Oh! Right... they left her.
Wow leave her Johnny was in assassin's creed 4 black flag amazing
Here from Apollonian Germ!
@n7275 I think it's David Woodhead...
Is that Jean Redpath in the background ?
@Xeno426 Your right of course,
but I still feel this young man could be a inspriation to the working people of the world
I know how much pride Stans music instilled in me as a working man...
Why won't the son continue in the working class tradition of the father ?
Guess the obvious answer is that the Dude is not working class........
I miss Christopher Hitchens and Stan Rogers.
Odd to compare the two, but I couldn't agree more!
RatioHatesTheGame Both generous in their awesomeness. Both understood important things and enlightened the rest of us.
Stan didn't insult Mother Theresa.
Timothy Jordan Insult is irrelevant. Hitchens criticized her.
There is constructive criticism and destructive criticism. Hitchens attacks on Mother Theresa were vicious. Stan would not have approved. Ask Nathan.
Anyone reading this a day few days before 2018?
Who's standing on his left? The same guy is in the Barrett's Privateers video but I can't get an answer
That would be Stan's brother: Garnet Rogers
Sorry, meant our left, his right! The dark haired guy.
That looks to be ether Paul mills or David allan Eddie or Jim Morrison
www.dougmcarthur.ca/smales/PHOTOS.html labels this pic "David Allen Eadie, Stan Rogers, Garnet".
It’s Beavis
1 dislike.. i think its her..
I think it's Johnny
2 mow im a like though now both johnny and her dislike
Pretty sure "she" is a boat.
benlonghair
That's a very rude thing to call a lady, lad.
LAHFaust Aye, but she's leaky, creaky, and loose in the sheets, how'd you describe her?
They were taking about a ship
22 people also like to kick puppies
2:44 No offense Stan, but I'd rather NOT see you tomorrow.
You won't get to meet him anyhow, he died saving people from a burning plane.
It’s dark humour.
