Shanty: Ship in Distress (Foc'sle / English Folk Song) with Lyrics

Our version of that old English foc'sle song with voice, guitar, udu and tin whistle. Foc'sle (forecastle) songs tell about the burden of work aboard ship and provided entertainment to off-duty sailors. Often played as a-capella as by A. L. Lloyd or with a single accompanying instrument the way Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick did it. ::: Lyrics :::: You seamen bold who plough the ocean See dangers landsmen never know. 'Tis not for honour or promotion; No tongue can tell what they undergo. In the blusterous wind and the great dark water Our ship went drifting on the sea, Her headgear gone, and her rudder broken, Which brought us to extremity. For fourteen days, heartsore and hungry, Seeing but wild water and bitter sky, Poor fellows they stood in a totter, A-casting lots as to which should die. The lot it fell on Robert Jackson, Whose family was so very great. “I'm free to die, but oh, my comrades, Let me keep look-out till break of day.” A full dressed ship like the sun a-glittering Came bearing down to their relief. As soon as this glad news was shouted, It banished all their care and grief. The ship brought to, no longer drifting, Safe in Saint Vincent, Cap Verde, she gained. You seamen all, who hear my story, Pray you'll ne'er suffer the like again. #ShortTailedSnails #WorldmusicSTS
