Sally Brown - James Brennan (traditional)

This fun sea shanty dates to the mid-1800s. The most famous recording is by Sweeney's Men in 1968 with Andy Irvine on vocals (and he later sang it with Planxty in 1980). I hope you enjoy my version of it!

𝓢𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓑𝓻𝓸𝔀𝓷 (arranged by: Sweeney's Men)
I shipped on board of a Liverpool liner.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
Sally Brown is a nice young lady.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
She's tall and she's dark but she's not too shady.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
Her mother doesn't like no tarry sailor.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
She wants her to marry a one legged captain.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
Sally wouldn't wed me so I shipped across the water.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
And now I am courting Sally's daughter.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
I shipped on board of a Liverpool liner.
Way, hay, roll and go!
And we roll all night,
And we roll 'till the day,
To spend my money along with Sally Brown.
