>>6103446>high seas adventure, Age Of Sail>Hornblower, Aubrey-Maturin etcI haven't read any of these books aside from watching Master And Commander lol, but I was scouring the internet for a particular version of this song. I actually remember singing it in a music lesson in school where it had been adapted with more innocent lyrics. A lot of versions on the internet alter the wording to more modern variants, or add annoying folk ukelele or guitar strumming / piano, or as often enough also speed up the tempo - ideally the song should be quite slow, at a thumping inebriated swaying pace, it is really just a drunken litany / recollection of sex conquests. There should also be some lyrics about a Dublin church and a steeple somewhere.
This song is very catchy, and you can customise it. I think Pillars Of Eternity Deadfire had it with the lyrics changed, specifically adapted to the in-world lore. It is also important to pronounce "Revolution" as "Revo-lu-shy-on" hehe
In some versions of the song, when they shout at the end "Timmy" it actually means "To Me" (ie row or haul Towards Me). I also feel the Trump campaign could use this song

Way Haul Away, We'll Haul Away Joe
When I was just a little lad, me mother always told me
(Way Haul Away, We'll Haul Away Joe)
That if I did not kiss the girls, me lips would grow a' mouldy
(Way Haul Away, We'll Haul Away Joe)
Well Louis was the King o'France, before the Revolution
(Way Haul Away, We'll Haul Away Joe)
But then he got his head chopped off, it spoilt his Constitution...
(Way Haul Away, We'll Haul Away Joe)
Well first I had an English girl, but she was fat and lazy
(Way Haul Away, We'll Haul Away Joe)
An' then I had an Irish girl, she stole my watch and money...
(Way Haul Away, We'll Haul Away Joe)

There are a lot of variants of this song. I think youtube downranks some of them lol because of the lyrics about women, hehe. But here is one which I think fits the tempo and rhythmic arrangement in my mind
Way Haul Away, Valparaiso Men's Chorus
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=plwc5scCjwII thought Assassins Creed Black Flag had this song too, I spent ages looking for it. In fact I misremembered, they had this similar shanty, which may be about a, er, black... galleon, and her... nether regions
Roll, Boys, Roll
