Black Flag Bay 52 - Rum & Ropes | Rowdy Sea Shanty

⚓ 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! 🎵🎶🎤 Who’ll haul with me at dawn? Who’ll pull when the tide rolls on? I’ve got tar on my hands, salt in my beard And a long black line on the mast I’ve steered What’s left when the shore grows thin? What’s left but the rope and the skin? I’m a hard-mouthed man with a coal-dark grin And I sing till the rest come in Hey now, hear the call Feel the boards beneath us fall Hey now, stand up tall We don’t bend, we don’t crawl Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! Pull that rope and sing with me Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! When the sea calls out our name We answer back the same What’s that glow on the far green break? That’s not dawn, that’s the wake we make One hand steady, one hand bare And the wind bites sharp through the open air Who’ll keep time with a thunder step? Who’ll laugh at the waves we met? I’ve seen white foam climb the rail Still we rise and we will not fail Hey now, hear the call Feel the boards beneath us fall Hey now, stand up tall We don’t bend, we don’t crawl Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! Pull that rope and sing with me Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! When the sea calls out our name We answer back the same What waits beyond the spray? A red sun or a grave? If the gale takes one of us We still move as one of us Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! Pull that rope and sing with me Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! When the sea calls out our name We answer back the same Heave, oh, boys, heave! Heave, oh, boys, heave! Old salt voice and stomping feet Heave, oh, boys, heave!
