ERROR ALERT! I made a mistake about "pawls." They're actually the ratchet bits that prevent the capstan from turning backwards.

I first did this vocal arrangement for La Nef. The recording of that version can be found here:

Randy Dandy, O - Lyrics

1. Now we are ready to sail for the Horn,
Way Hey Roll and go!
Our boots and our clothes, boys, are all in the pawn.
To me rollockin' randy dandy, O.

Heave a pawl, O heave away. Way Hey Roll and go!
The anchor's on board and the cable's all stored.
To me rollockin' randy dandy, O.

2. Soon we'll be warpin' her out through the locks,
Where the pretty young girls all come down in their frocks.

3. Come breast breast the bars, bullies, heave her away,
Soon we'll be rolling her down in the bay.

4. Sing goodbye Sally and sing goodbye Sue,
For we are the boys who can kick 'er through.

5. Man the the stout caps'n and heave with a will,
Soon we'll be driving her way down the hill.

6. We're outward bound for Vallipo Bay,
Get cracking, me lads, it's a hell of a way.

The most valuable and important member of the Jackdaw's crew. Thank you for making the voyages so intense

This and "Leave Her Johnny" are the best shanties ever!

I really appreciate the fun facts shared before the shanty. Coincidentally, I was just explaining last night to my wife what a pawl was when we were singing this one together while driving home.

Rather soft spoken guy giving info, then starts singing with all his soul

That's when you know music is in his heart 💜

And just like that, memories of AC4: Black Flag come flooding back. Sailing the Caribbean for adventure and fortune during a torrid 2020. Wonderful work Sean!

With this song and “Dead horse” you’ve taught my 4 year old son to love music.

This was the first shanty I ever learned. I had Sean's voice stuck in my head for weeks after my first time hearing it in Black Flag. I was so enamored with his voice that I decided I wanted to be able to sing alongside him.

This song is very special to me, reminds me of my grandfather. I had your AC Black Flag songs Randy Dandy and Leave Her Johnny playing for his funeral, his name was John. He was an English Merchant Master Mariner. Went to school in England for merchant marine, sailed when he was 17 and never stopped. Sailed all over the world then came to Canada to sail the Great Lakes. He was a First Mate forever, he liked it better than being the Captain, said the Captain had too much paperwork and not enough sailing. Beautiful voice Sean, this song and leave her Johnny always move me to joy or to tears. Never stop. Thank you.

Were I to found a church praising the sea, you'd hear this in the hymnal, every sabbath. Gorgeous.

Love the new intro!! This arrangement gives a lovely haunting work song touch compared to the Black Flag version, makes it more epic and cinematic

You're a staple in our household of 5! My 9 year old twins love to listen and sing along with you in the car, at home, while we are all preparing meals together and anywhere else we want to bust into song! You're marvelous and I love the tidbits of history you provide on your channel! Thank you!

It has now been canonically established that there is a member of Edward Kenway's crew with an amazing singing voice. But instead of his talent being recognised and having an illustrious singing career, he ended up becoming a pirate. 😂
