Please enjoy our version of Johnny Burke's:
EXCURSION AROUND THE BAY
Well it was on this monday morning
And the day be calm and fine
To the Harbour Grace excursion
With the boys to have a time
And just before the sailor
Took the gangway from the pier
I saw some fellow haul me wife aboard The Volunteer
"Oh me, oh my," I heard the old wife cry,
"Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!"
"Oh me, oh my", I heard the old wife say,
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay" (Hey!)
We had full 300 hundred souls aboard, oh what a splendid sight!
Left strong and regimental to make our spirits bright
Meself being in the double, from the funny things they'd say
They'd choke themselves from laughing when they'd see us in the bay
"Oh me, oh my," I heard the old wife cry,
"Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!"
"Oh me, oh my", I heard the old wife say,
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay" (Hey!)
Me wife she got no better, she turned a sickly green
I fed her cake and candy, fat pork and kerosene
Castor Oil and sugar rock candy, rubbed gear oil on her face
And I said she'll be a dandy when we reaches Harbour Grace
"Oh me, oh my," I heard the old wife cry,
"Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!"
"Oh me, oh my", I heard the old wife say,
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay" (Hey!)
Me wife she got no better, me wife me darling dear
The screech heard from our troll here, could hear in Carbonear
Tried every place in Harbour Grace,
Tried every store and shop,
To get her something for a cure or take her to the hop
"Oh me, oh my," I heard the old wife cry,
"Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!"
"Oh me, oh my", I heard the old wife say,
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay" (Hey!)
"Oh me, oh my," I heard the old wife cry,
"Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!"
"Oh me, oh my", I heard the old wife say,
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay" (Hey!)
She died below the brandy's as we were coming back
We buried her in the ocean, wrapped up in a Union Jack
So now I am a single man, in search of a pretty face
And the woman who says she'll have me, I'm off for Harbour Grace
"Oh me, oh my," I heard the old wife cry,
"Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!"
"Oh me, oh my", I heard the old wife say,
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay" (Hey!)
(Repeat Chorus X2)
------------------------
Led by the fearless (and often funny) front-woman Derina Harvey, this five-piece Celtic-rock group offers a fresh take on traditional tunes and intersperse that offering with their own original jigs & reels. Their infectious rhythmic undertow is layered with rock guitar, dizzying fiddle motifs, and topped by Derina’s powerful voice. These transplanted east-coasters have earned a reputation as a party-band, leaving many an audience out-of-breath and hollering from the dance floor!
The band has proven to be a crowd-pleaser wherever they go. 2014 has seen the group travel across the country, entertaining crowds at pubs and festivals from Alberta to Newfoundland, where they took the main stage of George Street Festival in St. John's this past summer. Most recently, they shared the stage with Newfoundland UA-cam sensation Donnie Dumphy (a comedian/novelty act most prominently featured on the Rick Mercer Report on CBC).
The band continues to build on a growing fan base by promoting their self-titled debut album (released in 2013). The record has garnered radio airplay in multiple regions in Canada (CKUA in Edmonton; K-Rock and Radio Newfoundland in St. John's, NL; CBC, Canada-wide). Work on their second album has already begun, due out by summer of 2015.

Love all your songs and covers! It would be gr8 to hear your version of other sea shanty medleys - like "One more day me johny" or even some irish or celtic folk songs. Keep it up, lot of love from Poland!
The reverb in her voice is so satisfying to my ears
8 years... Why did youtube took SO LONG to recommend me this masterpiece?
you might wanna check out some othersongs like the last shanty or The Last Saskatchewan Pirate
The gutteral roar when her voice picks up adds so much character to the song. Love her style.
That combined with the depth is just *chefs kiss*
Will pay money to hear her voice sing "holding out for a hero"
I was so lucky to work at a place where she played regular. It was fucking awesome pardon my francais. :D
Oh holy hell that sounds great
She is one of the finest singers (male or female) I have ever heard
uhavent heard much music then lol
@@xmastoast8003 😘
Thank you so much!💚
@@xmastoast8003 - What an awful person.
@@RontoGoldlust lmfao boo hoo
Found her by accident at tiktok, her voice swayed me to surrender my will and hoist the white color.
Its far and long in between such rough gems surface! What a voice!
Same except for it wasn't TikTok, this was recommended to me after listening to other sea shanties and this has to be my 50th time and I'm still enjoying it
Every time she does that run when she sings "I think I'm gonna die", I think 'Yup, let's replay that a few more times!'
Considering my husband is from Harbour Grace, this song has always cracked me up. I love her voice. So strong. I can only sing in falsetto, girls with powerful voices are so lucky.
Not gonna lie.......Heard this on Spotify for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was totally blown away.......Instantly became a fan
I need this lead singer to come hang out with me and just say “think” every once in a while 💙
My ex introduced me to The Derina Harvey Band. Three years, and that was probably the best thing that came out of the relationship.
We're glad you're here rockin' out with us! We have a new song out now and a new album dropping June 23rd! You can check it out and pre-save there album here💚 derinaharveyband.lnk.to/waves-of-home

Whenever i wanna show my friends outside of Newfoundland what it means to be a Newfoundlander, this is my go-to song/cover

Literally just found your channel. I love it. You have an amazing voice and just addictive songs. I've listened to The Last Shanty about 9 times today
Couldn't ask for more songs, but will gladly XD
Linked to by a friend, I don't think it's my kinda music but I gotta say Derina's voice absolutely kicks ass, love when she drops down into that gravelly growl for some bits of emphasis, and great control dipping in and out of it so cleanly. Still gotta check out some more from you just in case lol
Cheers! We're glad you're digging it, even though it's not really the stuff you usually listen to! 💚
This is amazing! Thank you Tik Tok for giving this to me!

Sea shanties hit different
Modern point of view on classic song? Heh, why not!)))
The more I listen to this song, the more I get the impression that the husband wasn't all that bummed about his wife dying.
@@quetzalthegamer Yeah...folk songs are wild!
I Love yui
I didn't know I needed to hear Vi from Arcane sing a sea shanty, but here we are
I was originally here from TikTok- I used this song to really get into a pirate dnd character I played. This song is so catchy and I can’t stop listening to it.
For any Beat Saber players out there wanting to see this song in the game, I gotchu ;)
Bro her voice is incredible AND she is cute as fuck? Fam. Guy. Dude. 😭😍😤👀👌
Been looking for this album on vinyl but no luck. Do yall have any records floating around by chance?
Unfortunately we've never pressed this one on vinyl! Our second album "Rove and Go" we did a run that are sold out now and we are considering doing a run of our new album!
