This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy’s Day.

Warning: the chorus can be addictive!

REMIXED AND MASTERED - late July 2013.

slkrell - that's my bodhrán synthesizer, lol. A high-tom played gingerly. A real bodhrán would be lower pitch, but the lower toms come out too muddy. Enough Jameson and and nobody should care.

I remember your song but I think this is smoother, the rough edges removed. I would say it's a lot better now. I do like your Irish accent too.
