We love the life of a Jolly Jack Tar. Nothing better than a day unfurling a spanker or two and gazing up into the mizzen mast and worrying about the Doldrums.
Whilst up aft for’d we pass the time by singing a shanty.
Here are a few we croon;
• Me Auld Girl’s Blowhole
• Johnny’s Tinkler Is Inflamed
• After 3 Years At Sea Duncan Is Now Dorothy
• I’ve Been Bent Over A Barrel or 2
• Tug Me Rope
• When I Rub Me Barnacles I’m Thinking Of Me Jessie
• Blow Me Back To Blighty On A Good Stiff ‘Un
• Lord Nelson Swung Both Ways
Anyway the west wind blows fare – so adieu me hearties – sing along to this classic!
