Finnian McGurk Spanish ladies

A Contemporary Antique

[@hispanosueca]

Funny in Spanish there is a children´s song about British sailors womanizing galore...Soy capitán, soy capitán de un barco Inglés (bis) y en cada puerto tengo una mujer. La rubia es (bis) fenomenal (bis) y la morena tampoco está mal. Si alguna vez(bis) me he de casar,(bis) me casaré con la que me guste más. I am the captain,I am the captain, of an English shipand in every port I have a womanThe blonde one is phenomenaland the brunette is not bad eitherIf I ever marryI will wed The one I fancy most

[@fransbuijs808]

That sounds a bit like La Bamba: Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan, soy capitan

[@michaelwalter3399]

I think that's pretty much true of sailors of any nationality. A lot of women really go for a man in uniform.

[@LW5guy]

This really captures the true spirit of the song.

[@trakaipilies396]

This rough unclean version is so much more true and touching as many professional recordings... Well done, guys!

[@jameshook6675]

Best version of this song

[@davidthomas1131]

Great song,great singer and great musicians

[@jagc1969]

I can't stop to replay this song. For me this one is the best rendition of it.

[@bedro4real826]

God bless old England ? Bruv it has a nasty past of colonialism and Christianity sword spreading . it killed many innocents.

[@viithlegion1387]

God bless indeed!

[@michaelwalter3399]

@@bedro4real826 And your saying White Christian people should have a problem with that? Sounds jolly good sport to me.

[@bedro4real826]

@@michaelwalter3399 What ? Everyone knows the old England evil past and it massacres ,it's fine to be proud of being born there but its low to say god bless on such a bloody old past of it

[@tomoole]

Nice slow version of little known ballad - I've not heard for years. much amused by the comment about 'keeping history alive'

[@reefreacher2stevemiller24]

tomoole I thought the same.

[@readytoworkboulder]

Fair enough, Maybe you could post up something you've produced?

[@MrEpeeFencer]

Does anyone have the lyrics?

[@Shalimaritime]

.. as is the song ..

[@jamesunsworth6865]

Only the Irish can sing this, with gusto, mi gustria mucho viva los Irelandesas ( my Spanish is a little rusty) still you get the picture.

[@isaacharkton6169]

This is literally an English song lmao, so the Irish can only sing English songs? That’s not much of a compliment

[@photonman666]

Music is nice, better than the shanty versions which are so common and don't do the song justice. But that voice is just absurd, it sounds like a self parody. And me not producing an alternative doesn't make this version good.

[@jagc1969]

I really enjoyed this version of the song.

[@petermoody6147]

To: H-to-O - I am in agreement with yourself. I find it to be the more authentic (and I say this as an Englishman)since Mr. McGurk's Irish accent and tone evoke the sense in myself that these sailors are expressing their passion in life. There was a sizeable contribution of volunteers from 'All Ireland', many of whom were from coastal areas and career sailors, that enlisted in the Royal Navy at that time. Photonman666 obviously views this as a self-parody whereas I tend to the impression that the song admirably conveys that raison d'etre, that such men felt.

[@LarboardAnimations9660]

The verse they sing in Master and Commander the far side of the world, shall always be the best then the Jerry Bryant version.
