- Lyrics to the sea shanty Don't Forget Your Old Shipmate, as performed by Jerry Bryant and Starboard Mess from the album Roast Beef of Old England.
This song was used in the film Master and Commander.
I’ll never forget my old shipmates:
Duff Goodsell
Phil Bowling
Mike Shelby
Richard Tomlin
Jim Finch
Tom Ogle
George Hood
U.S.S. Oklahoma City (1971-1974)
Are you another Oklahoman?
It's a old navy ship
Thank you and your shipmates for serving. 👍
Haha Gary Joseph more like Jary Goseph
Thank you for your service
My friends and I learned this song by heart and proceeded to sing this song out on the streets while drinking.
+Special Agent Dale Cooper i wanted to start singing it at university... but my coward friends werent up for it ;D
+fcbalexli Come join our squad fella!
I bet you get beat up alot.
+Preston Chambers you bet wrong
+Preston Chambers what makes you say that?
"To wives and sweethearts.....Shall they never meet."
AMEN!!!
+DepresedSoldier HEAR! HEAR!
And remember to always choose the lesser of two weevils
Drunken laughing
@@lancefullmer9384 that tongue could pick a pocket!
To the lesser of two weevils!!
Can't get enough of that classical masterpiece.
I served 5 years in the Navy. I listen to this song every other week maybe 3-4 times in a row. My memories come back to me from when I served. The smell of salt in the ocean. The sound of the waves breaking against the hull. The constant rocking from port to starboard. The cold and warm breezes against my face. Just like upon land, the ocean is a world in and of itself. One that is vastly unfamiliar and mysterious. Yet pulls those towards it, like sirens of ancient Greece singing and enchanting sailors towards the water. I raise a glass of fine whiskey. Cheers to all those who have served at sea whether during times of peace, for war, for commerce, or simply for pleasure. Fair winds and following seas to all!
The real question is
*do you remember your old shipmates?*
@@mauricethegecko9700 your asking the real questions here
Wow
only 1700s kids will remember
Thank you for your service
I'm ex Army and my Dad was a Tin Can Sailor (destroyer ) we would run together occasionally on Saturday mornings and whenever we were in the car he would put in a cassette of Navy songs , what he called " good music " of course just to rile me up and this was one of them. Can't listen to it without smiling . RIP Dad.
you indeed, did not forget an old shipmate...
RIP
"Don't forget yer ol' ship mate Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!"
Me = With a first name like THAT, how can I?
Too funny!
Lmao
First comment in a long time that actually made me laugj😂 deserves more likes
Makes me want to watch Master And Commander again.
That's a once a year movie for me. Never gets old...
Yep i really hope they make a sequel sometimes in the future
@@napoleonthegreat6024 I really wish one of the big streaming services would take a chance on the whole Aubrey/Maturin series. It would be absolutely incredible if they got it right.
One of my dad’s favorites.
Women will never understand
This is one of those songs where you can almost feel the memories that birthed it.
Makes me nostalgiac for something I never experienced..
Like me listening to duke ellington
That phenomenon is called anemoia
In a way, you can experience this by reading the Aubrey-Maturin novels from Patrick O'Brian. Cheers, mate.
How this song didn’t make it to the sea shanty memes of 2021 is beyond me. It’s about being with the boys.
Seriously, and from such an iconic movie too!
We must try to remedy this fact !!!
Exactly
Real
Well, with a Master And Commander prequel (reportedly) in the works, perhaps this song(and the first movie) will get noticed more!
I watched master and commander last night. Mint film!!!
I started singing this to myself in math class, and my teacher who is Irish started singing with me.
That's awesome, mate.
Things that never happened
your profile pic is confusing me ;_;
He egg.
Why you look like a boy and girl at the same time
My dad would sing this to me every night before I’d go to bed. I love him more than anything, and I don’t know what I’d do without him.
you have a great dad :)
The frequency of posts like this on all these old-timey songs suggests this to be a meme.
To Wives and sweethearts!
May they never meet!
"I say, Killick, Killick there!"
Lord Nelson spoke to me twice. The first time, he looked me straight in the eye and said; "Aubrey, may I trouble you for the salt?"
@@donbrynelsen2157 hahahaaah
Don’t you know you should always pick the lesser of two weevils
(drinks a huge tankard of ale in one gulp)🍺
The verse about the empty hulk strikes a chord. I've seen two of my dad's commands stripped and empty after decommissioning and it's a very sad sight.
That’s mad you said that, you just brought back a memory I hadn’t remembered in many years, my grandad on my mums side joined the navy after his discharge from the army in world war 2 (he was wounded liberating Eindhoven after taking part in the Normandy landings, he was only 17 when he landed) being a docker as a kid In Liverpool he always wanted to go to sea but when the war kicked off he lied about his age and joined his fathers company the Leicestershire rifles, when he finally went to sea the war was in its last few months and he was on the HMS Penelope as an engineer, grandad said after all the damage she took that when they returned they’d all started calling her HMS Pepperpot , my grandad was so sad to see her decommissioned, but he’s the crazy thing, my dad was a bit of a boy and finally got given the choice of borstal or the armed forces and he chose the Royal Navy, he was to be an engineer too and guess what his first commission was? The HMS Penelope 2, crazy that, they had a link years before me mum linked them by marriage, I couldn’t get in to the navy 3 times over the medical so had to settle for trawler fishing, something so magical and terrifying about the sea, I love how you immediately realise just how insignificant you are when you can no longer see land.. sorry for the boring life story just your comment really brought so much back that I hadn’t thought of in so many years... big love shipmate!
@@MrRedPasty I’ve recalled a memory of many years past and Long forgotten. My Uncle was in the Navy and in the early 80’s we went along as kids to see one of his old ships decommissioned. I really wish I could recall the name! We also got to see a boat my Great Uncle built get “christened”!! Or named!! Again I can’t recall the name but I do recall my great nan trying to smash the champagne bottle on her and watching as she rolled down and hit the water! Now that was a sight to see!!
My first warship became a reef in 1996. The last is being sunk in an exercise early next year. She is currently rusting in Middle Loch at Pearl now. Our division murals are still on the bulkheads. Our mementos hidden throughout. It’s an empty feeling.
@@MrRedPasty Don't apologize, mate. I found it pretty neat!
Joined the US Navy in 2000. Found myself volunteering at the San Diego Maritime Museum beginning early 2001. Saw the Harbor change dramatically! The Former HMS Rose came as the New HMS Surprise, then the USS Midway came in as a Museum All the time my Girl Friend at the time who worked living history aboard the Star and I took a trip on the Star of India on her 140th Birthday. I'm away now and miss San Diego something fierce! But the prices are all too much. So now it's all a memory. It's now a blur.. my point? When you're young STOP! Look around! Take Pictures! tell the one who is sharing time in your life, tell them you Love them! It goes way too fast!!
I, too, heard this on Master and Commander, finding it on here completely by accident. Thank you so much for the full version: a truly uplifting song, you can't help but roar out the chorus, ha! Thank you as well for clearing up a few nautical question I had. You seem to be a font of useful historical information.
I remember a long time ago I was friends with a guy who was called “Jack”, one day I saw that he looked very sad and was having a bad day, so later that day me and the rest of my friends gathered together and sung this song to him as a way to cheer him up and it worke. After we finished he gave us all a big hug.
that's so sweet
Master and Commander underrated imo
+ogbkballa Agree with you all the way
great film
TV-94 idk about that lol also tbh it didnt make such a profit so thats why as well the movie had such a huge budget
+ogbkballa Except it was an American ship they were fighting. They just came out a little short.
+ogbkballa Incredible film that just came out at the wrong time. Im sure it would have won a few oscars had it not been for Return of the King.
After hundreds of years, thanks to Assassins Creed 4, Sea shanties are popular again. What a glorious come back!
some few of us remember A.L Lloyd and Ewan Maccoll.
I dont really even play video games...
I loved shanties before that game. AC4 just made it easier to find them.
I don't think it's thanks to Assassins Creed 4 at all.
While it gathered a few more people, it by no means made shanties popular again.
Jake Handley These are great sing a long songs with a group of sailors with some grog!
And Master and Commander
i feel both happy and sad cuz this song reminds me of my friend we promised not to forget each other and its been a long time since then
Yeah I feel you :.-(
You never forgot your old shipmate so I don't he forgot you
It's really how it truly is.
I was your typical 28 year old guy before listening to this. I’m now a seasoned English sailor with a beard that also has a beard.
I was a Navy guy 30 yrs. ago, but not a "real" sailor. I envy those who have spent time on tall ships...hearing songs like this makes me want to grab a marlinspike and practice knots, or muster on the forecastle, or something...
...Who cares if you liked shanties before or after AC4? Welcome the new fans and old alike, is what I say.
Nerd
Henry Kingston Fuck you.
Maxwell Mahan NERD !
Maxwell Mahan very welcome mate
***** it is in assassin's creed rogue
To wives and sweethearts! May they never meet!
'long we've tossed on the rolling main' ^u^
I love it
raise a glass
A bloody war and a sickly season.
Yes very good reference
My grandfather was in the Royal Navy Auxiliary Service and was decorated for his long service... May there be rum and sea in Heaven.
Watching this scene in Master & Commander I love this. :)
Excellent! Master and Commander is one of the best movies ever made. I’m thankful to hear this song and understand some words I got wrong.
Whenever I hear this, I cannot help but think of my great-grandfather (My family always called/calls him Papa Jack). I never got to meet him since he passed away shortly after my older sister was born in 2002 but I hope to meet him someday in the great unknown that is the afterlife.
I've been in the U. S. Navy for 17 years and every time I'm at sea I sing this to myself, I smell the ocean, feel the wind on my face, and thank God I'm one of the lucky few who serves upon the high seas.
baconman It’s English and it stays English. We’re not alike each other at all because America is a bastardised country of a mix of European countries. You don’t have any sea shanties.
Chief, HT1 (SW/AW) USN(Ret) here. I had a HTC on my first ship that would sing shanties all the time, at first it was annoying as hell, but I soon found myself listening to his CDs and singing them myself.
Wow I joined in 1999 and if I stayed it would have been my 20th year now. I would also have chanties in my head sometimes when out to sea. Usually on the smoke deck staring out in the big cloudy horizon and listening to the waves.
@@donbarzinitut Of course we have sea shanties! Theme from Gilligan's Island! Sit right back and you'll hear a tale! I sing it all the time when sailing in a bit of weather.
I sing sea shanties to my self anytime I'm on a vessel. I started doing it when I was 14. Now I'm 16 and I will keep singing sea shanties to myself.
i am 21, and my dad passed from a heart attack 7 weeks ago. i don’t know why he liked this sort of music, but honestly i like it too because he did. i miss him and i will always remember this song.
I Listen to this and think about sailing when it was written.
A hundred guys all working together under the most brutal law that existed at the time, eating weavilly ship's biscuit and drinking partially spoiled water, going months at a time without seeing land. Each man depended on the other to do their job, and they all faced the danger of storms and enemy action together. A slight misstep or misunderstanding from a man in the t'gallants could doom the entire crew to a horrible death.
People say that guys in 'nam or WW2 were badasses. Maybe. My vote goes towards sailing men of war.
The royal navy had soft dicipline at the time hanging was a death sentence on land but fifteen lashes at sea
dstblj 52 And the wounds after the flogging could get infected rather horribly due to poor hygiene on board, leading to a nasty feverish death.
the difference is that could kill you verse will kill you, their is a large difference in the survival rate of wiping and hanging, especially as they often poured vinegar into the lashes that will hurt like hell but may save your life
Trajan Fidelis and those men who sailed out of New Bedford MA and Nantucket who risked life and limb for money,a and who's hard work and toil helped to light up the world, when New Bedford MA was the richest city in the world ,God I'd of loved to see her in her hey day. what a husk of her former self she is today tis sad really.
Water spoils?
My old Army friends and I used to get drunk and sing this frequently. It was quite heartfelt when the rest of our platoon met up and started singing this again
One of my late father's favorites. He and I would sing this together every once in a while
Rip
Ment to add that " Master and Commander " was IMHO a very well done movie. To bad we got stuck with " Pirates of the Caribbean ,etc ). No offense to the folks that liked it.
Only here because of master and commander
Something about this song is so melancholy and yet... Hopeful? Idk there's just so much passion just in the lyrics and the singers voice, I love this
I’m in the navy and on deployments on the high seas I started this chant
Once you leave will you remember your old shipmates
I learned this song as an impressed seaman in the Royal Navy ca 1805.
Awesome. The author of this song was born in 1809.
you must be very old
Not to mention, shanties were prohibited in the Royal Navy during those years
Not to mention being 212 years old when you commented on this video
Great Song! Loved the version in Master and Commander.
One of my personal favourites. I love this one.
Thanks to Master and Commander I found this gem
"Don't you know in the service, one must choose the lesser of two weevles"
Aubrey... May I trouble you for the salt?
"shut up and eat your salt"
i need to use that
I've always tried to say it exactly as he did ever since.
@@ArturoFrost I am the lesser of 2 weevils.
My daughter's name is Aubrie.... guess what I'm gonna for ask at dinner?
Good Remain X D
I like this song very much. I heard it for the first time at the film "Master and Commander". Kind regards to all seamen of England, the best sailors of the world, enemies in 1982, allies in 1990, and comrades in all times.
You can't be enemies and comrades at the same time
I have recently discovered a love of old sea shanties, and this song is adding fuel to the fire.
Check out 'Reuben Ranzo'.
Phantom or no, she's a privateer, and Lucky Jack'll have her.
Don't count your eggs before they're in the pudding, Wimpoman!
Should I scratch a stay, turn 3 times and exclaim "May the Lord and saints preserve us"? XD
Doctor, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils.
He who would pun would pick a pocket.
And William......Yes Sir ?....beat to quarters
My Mom, sitting downstairs: "oh, shes doing her schoolwork, shes such a good kid!"
Me, in my room, staring at my horrible grades and 30+ missing assignments: "FALDEE RALDEE RALDEE RALDIEE RYE-EYE-DOE!!!!!"

we sang this at our graduation. It was amazing.
My music teacher’s great, great, great, great, great, grandfather was actually a sailer and he was in world war 1. And, she also has some old stuff of his. Like some papers, and other stuff he needed. I love this song. It makes me remember the old days and it makes me realize we are all safe, even if I am not American.
Master and Commander!
this song makes me feel awfully nostalgic and teary eyed
I have been looking for this for years , ever since Master and Commander , made my night and added to favorites
As a retired Quartermaster, nothing but love for this song.
Dedicated to all my old shipmates, and the hard but happy times we had sailing the world's ocean's....blessed are we..
To all the good men I served with and served under at COMSUBPAC Staff, Pearl harbor, from June 1973 to June 1975. For two years I served with the bravest and best men alive.
Fair winds and following seas, all!
God bless the U. S. navy and all who serve her, past, present, and future!
every time I hear this I want to see master and commander for the million time...
Same here! If you are ever in Massachusetts come over and we’ll watch it 🙂♥️
@@FleetwoodCaddy59 haha.. I'm in the Caribbean bro.. Island of Curacao
@@mikep5027 🫵🏻that’s wicked nice
Being a sailor this song hits hard. Hopefully we meet again
What can I say? Absolutely the best
Love this version
I hear that song while I playin' Assassin's Creed Rogue and I search it. So awesome!
Everytime I went fishing I would sing this 🎣😎🤘🏾💙
I like the idea of being a pirate... But I guess being an actual pirate must have been horrible
screamoL842 Yeah, lol.
There are still "real" pirates out there.
Somewhat being a sailor in general sucked
@@marcuspetrushko3762 ironically the most faithful modern equivalent to the general idea of “pirates” are black and grey hat hackers and the internet is the sea
@@kromtom3078 sailors were paid a wage where the captain received the lion's share of pay, at least with pirates everyone got an equal share, and the captain wasn't in control of pay, the quatermaster was, often the quartermaster was a veteran so would be respected and trusted by most of the crew, the captain was appointed by vote so could be replaced if thought he wasn't pulling his own weight
this one of the best shanty i have ever heard
It is the best one ;)
i lovesea chanties ! (i work on a sea vessel) and now i feel compelled to buy ths Assassins Creed....
@@EndlessSummer888 Its a naval song, not a sea shanty
Learned this an Many others while crewing the Kalmar Nickel In 2006 when I was 14... Once in a lifetime experience.
Great harmony singing and sung with conviction..........thanks
better than almost 99% songs that came after this shanty was first sung.
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe must feel really special being remembered by Jack.
I'm so glad I found this song ever since a friend of a friend played it in his car. It's such a great song!
We used to sing this in the scouts around the campfire as an adult I know the meaning of the song I won't forget them.
I'm gonna play this at my Graduation.
As you should
same
Almost breaks your heart listening to this when you think of all the poor souls who may have sung this right before losing their lives at sea...
this fits naval action
Smoking C96 Unless you were actually in the Royal Navy, where singing shanties while aboard an official R.N. vessel was strictly prohibited lol it was civvies and privateers what belted these beauties!!
*raises toast* to wives and sweethearts!......may they never meet!
When you see an old friend, and they don't remember you:
This song fills me up with warm and fuzz feelings.
I love this song I heard it first from master and commander.
Still the best...nobody comes close
More than 6 months contract cause this covid 19 and now i sign off...listening this song bring back my memories when i onboard...we are the silent heroes that everyone dont know how we go through the rough sea and stuck in sea.
>tfw forgotten by your old shipmate
lelelelelel
@B. Don't bully me, Nagatoro, I was drunk
I actually relate ;-;
22 years in the Royal Navy. Happy days
I like this song very much.Because it's in one scene of master and commander.
I like weevils in my porridge. Because it's one scene of master and commander. :)
So far, this is my favorite version
Wish i could have been a Pirate
Fun fact: To be considered a pirate, you just have to commit a crime at sea.
B an intrnt pirat...pirate music
pirate games...go go go go.
and no...to be a real pirate all you have to do is find your own way in life. Be free,live the way you want, by no ones rules or creed but your own. That was a pirates life.
you still can, But you have to leave right now to Somalia, I wish you best of luck.
I don't think being a pirate would be half as great as we make it seem to be =/.
Although until recent occurrence of thoughts I really wanted to be one too.
You sail around on these highly dangerous seas...each and every day holds a high chance you'll be taken by disease,sickness,hung or get caught in a storm and drown in salty seas..Add to it, all the friends you lose in the span of just a couple months....Sometimes passing their rotting corpses in the gallows and stuff =(
Idk about you guys but losing good friends and crew would be the shittiest thing ever...
Trevor Peddicord
nowadays pirates aren't all that, would have been better in the 17th 18th century
"Since we've sailed from Plymouth sound"
Good to know Plymouth gets a mention instead of Portsmouth.
Song's an unironic banger, even as someone with no naval connections except a friend I haven't seen since HS.
Master and commander brought me here one of my favourite films
Just got back from a 9 day haul with a tug and barge to Detroit and back to Charlevoix. We sang this as we came in the other night. 👍🏻
If I had an old shipmate called Faldee Raldee Raldee Raldee Rye-eye-doe, I don't think I could forget him.
Can we make 2021 the year of the sea shanties?
Its amazing that even just 200 years ago how little amount of Latin based vocabulary was in the common Englishmen's speech compared to today.
This is Anglo-Saxon rooted very much still.
Makes me remember the time I had gone to St Michael’s for a nice parade, I was the only drummer of the march in our Malitia uniforms, we were marching to the route step across a dock right next to the Chesapeake, I remember we sang this song on our way to the start, and that was only a couple months ago, December it was, that was a great parade to be in, and my first time marching while playing the drums and oh boy it was hard to do it after the 20 minute mark of the parade because one of the drummers were late, that one sucked
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life John 3:16😙
go tell em!
Name a shrub after me. Something prickly and hard to eradicate.
Song: let the waters roar, Jack
Me: Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow
I was waiting for a reference like that.
Being a sailor I truly appreciate this song
Of anticipation of this event I have asked Killick to prepare something special. KILLICK!!! Killick, there...
Don't forget your mates....ever.USS Tripoli '73 to ell and back...Jack.
