Whisky Johnny O'

https://open.spotify.com/track/3OKIDbSWTV9rS8dybKP1nB?si=D27T826jQySlJ7vi7eWYww

Whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey, Johnny!
O, whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

O, I drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey, Johnny!
I drink it out of an old tin can
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

Whiskey gave me a broken nose!
Whiskey, Johnny!
Whiskey made me pawn my clothes
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

Whiskey drove me around Cape Horn
Whiskey, Johnny!
It was many a month when I was gone
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

I thought I heard the old man say:
Whiskey, Johnny!
I'll treat my crew in a decent way
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

A glass of grog for every man!
Whiskey, Johnny!
And a bottle for the shanty Man
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

Recommended by the crew of the Lady Washington

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn,
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

As I went out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

I shook her up, I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I shook her 'round about the town
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

There was just one thing that grieved me mind
Heave away, haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

As we went down around Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You'll wish to God you've never been born
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

Mingulay Boat Song

Recommended by the crew of the Lady Washington

Hill you ho, boys; Let her go, boys;
Bring her head round, now all together.
Hill you ho, boys; Let her go, boys;
Sailing home, home to Mingulay.

What care we though white the Minch is?
What care we for wind or weather?
Let her go boys! ev'ry inch is
Wearing home, home to Mingulay.

Wives are waiting on the bank, or
Looking seaward from the heather;
Pull her round boys! and we'll anchor,
Ere the sun sets at Mingulay.
