    59 Billy Riley - Lyrics
    1. Old Billy Riley was a dancing master.
    Old Billy Riley, yo, ho!
    Old Billy Riley, screw him up so cheerily.
    Old Billy Riley, yo ho!
    2. Old Billy Riley was a master of a drogher.
    3. Old Billy Riley was a ladies man.
    4. Old Billy Riley and his little Mrs. Riley.
    5. Old Sally Racket was of Kingston town.
    I spent quite a packet on her silken gown.
    6. We loaded our packet with some sugar and rum.
    Goodbye to Jamaica, and the girls and sun.
    7. We're bound to the northward to the ice and the snow.
    We're bound to the north, up to the ice and snow.
    8. When we get back to Bristol Town,
    We'll drink and we dance, and sorrow will be drowned.

    It's nice to hear how different this version sounds from the one in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. That one has a completely different rhythm to it. It's like hearing the difference between Spanish Ladies in a Major and minor key. Thanks for recording another great shanty for us, Seán! :D

    I love the “HAULs” in this one.
    I don’t think you sang the song too slowly. It certainly was sung very quickly at times, but the shantyman could slow down if the crew is struggling or if the work was heavy, and the “haul!” makes it sound like there is indeed some hard work going on here.

    Dude, I love this version. It's got an almost waltzy cadence.

    I love the hauls! Also, I think this might be the first time I’ve heard a shanty say “yo ho”

    Well done. Different from some versions of this I've heard from others.

    A wonderful version! Slightly different from the one I'm used to (which I think may be the Black Flag one) but I liked this one just as much if not more. Thank you for doing your part to keep this community alive!

    A beautiful version of the song Seán. I enjoyed it being a bit more musical to be honest.
