My Son John | The Longest Johns - 360° on the Tower Belle, Bristol Packet Boat

Показать описание

I'm on a Boat! I'm on a Boat! Take a good hard look at the Bristol Packet Boat! We had a wonderful time on board the Tower Belle, and used the opportunity to film a small part of Bristols' beautiful waterways.
My Son John is a song we've been singing together almost since the start of the band back in 2012, and it's still just as much fun today as ever.

JD, Robbie and Andy: "So we're all going to wear normal shirts, right?"
Dave: "... NON."

Imagine getting on a boat and having four guys randomly start singing stuff like this. That would be awesome

There's people in front of them on the boat, that must've been a great boat ride.

The boat on JD's side at 25 seconds is for sale. I think the world needs you all to have an S.S. Longest John!

I've played this video like 50 times over time, and just noticed the "moving the camera around" thing and now my mind is completely blown! Wauw!

Full lyrics

My son John was tall and slim
And he'd a leg for ev'ry limb.
But now he's got no legs at all
For he ran a race with a cannon ball
Timmy roo dun da, fadda riddle da
Whack fo' the riddle Timmy roo dun da
Well were ya drunk or were ya blind
When ya left your two fine legs behind
Or was it sailin' on the sea
Wore your two fine legs right down to the knee
Timmy roo dun da, fadda riddle da
Whack fo' the riddle Timmy roo dun da
I was not drunk, I was not blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
Nor was it sailin' on the sea
Wore my two fine legs right down to the knee
Timmy roo dun da, fadda riddle da
Whack fo' the riddle Timmy roo dun da
Each foreign war I'll now denounce
'Tween the King of England and the King of France
For I'd rather my legs as they used to be
Than the king of Spain and his whole navy
Timmy roo dun da, fadda riddle da
Whack fo' the riddle Timmy roo dun da
I was tall and I was slim
And I'd a leg for ev'ry limb
But now I've got no legs at all
They were both shot away by a cannon ball
Timmy roo dun da, fadda riddle da
Whack fo' the riddle Timmy roo dun da
Well, I was tall and I was slim
And I'd a leg for ev'ry limb
But now I've got no legs at all
They done come off on a cannon ball
Timmy roo dun da, fadda riddle da
Whack fo' the riddle Timmy roo dun da
Timmy roo dun da, fadda riddle da
Whack fo' the riddle Timmy roo dun da

Wish I had a group of lads I could do this with. Just randomly go to places or such and sing. Bring some joy to somebodys life

This song was how I discovered the longest Johns and is my favorite shanty of all time and I'm so glad they made a remake.

realkingofwales

the beautiful harmonies mixed with the awesome background of bristol and you have a heavenly combination, perfect mood! would love to hear you guys singing this out on the seas more!

drgn

Wow this is amazing. Smokey Bastard used to be the guys I would listen to for this song, but now we have something much more... adequate.

youngransom

Love that you’re able to get out & about now. Beautiful scenery & a cracking song 🥳🎉

YouTube's subtitling was actually pretty good on this one. The only thing they consistently got wrong was turning "roo dun duh" into "rude and uh" which is honestly totally fair and I'll never hear the chorus the same again.
