Black Flag Bay 01 - Pirate Tavern Sea Shanty | Sing Along Sailor Song

⚓ Traditional Sea Shanty Authentic sailor work song inspired by 18th–19th century maritime folk. Call and response vocals, rough male chorus, and rhythms once used by sailors to haul ropes and raise sails. 🌊 From the docks to the open sea — Black Flag Bay 🎤🎶🎵 SING ALONG! 🎵🎶🎤 Six days east of Galway Bay The sky turned iron gray The compass spun like drunkard’s talk And daylight slipped away The captain swore by rope and reef We’d beat the coming storm But every plank and rusted nail Could feel the ocean’s roar Row the black horizon Boys Haul that bitter line If the deep sea wants our bones She’ll have to stand in line Raise your cups and curse the waves Sing loud Ignore the cold Row the black horizon Boys Till our hands can’t hold The cook nailed shut the flour chest The mate checked every seam The youngest lad just clenched his jaw And dreamed of fields of green The wind ripped through our ragged coats Like teeth on salted skin We tied our fears in tidy knots And dragged the canvas in Row the black horizon Boys Haul that bitter line If the deep sea wants our bones She’ll have to stand in line Raise your cups and curse the waves Sing loud Ignore the cold Row the black horizon Boys Till our hands can’t hold If I go down Then carve my name In splinters from this hull And toss it where the breakers pound Among the drifting gulls Tell my old man I dared the dark For more than fish and gold I chased the edge of all I knew Until I lost my hold Row the black horizon Boys Haul that bitter line If the deep sea wants our bones She’ll have to stand in line Raise your cups and curse the waves Sing loud Ignore the cold Row the black horizon Boys Till our hearts grow old All content protected under YouTube copyright law.
