GENERAL TAYLOR | THE LONGEST JOHNS

[satiric_]

In case you're wondering, the study of nostrils is rhinology.

[sapphire]

You.. you’re the ones who turned me from a normal music fan, to a sea shanty enjoyer.

[Killertomato]

I like how buzzy yet prominent your bass is. Like the anchor to the beautiful ship that is your melody.

[stereodreamer]

I don’t think I’m alone in thinking you should re-record your ENTIRE catalog with this lineup. The harmonies are simply perfect and enchanting.

[phantazein]

Oh, General Taylor gained the day
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Well, General Taylor gained the day
Carry him to his burying ground
To me way hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
To me way hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
I wish I was old Stormy's son
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Well I'd build a ship ten thousand ton
Carry him to his burying ground
To me way hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
To me way hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
We’ll load her up with ale and rum
Walk him along, John, carry him along
And every shellback should have some
Carry him to his burying ground
To me way hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
To me way hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
We’ll dig his grave with a silver spade
Walk him along, John, carry him along
His shroud of finest silk is made
Carry him to his burying ground
To me way hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
To me way hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
We'll lower him down on a golden chain
Walk him along, John, carry him along
On every link we'll carve his name
Carry him to his burying ground
To me way hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
To me way hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
Well General Taylor's dead and gone
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Well General Taylor's dead and gone
Carry him to his burying ground
To me way hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
To me way hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

Do it in a ship

Like at sea

That'd be amazing!

[MRIRISHLAD]

Definitely worth watching adverts for!!

[jessinthegarden]

When you’re watching something else on YouTube and the next video is this, and you get the song stuck in your head for half the day till you have to come back and listen to it on repeat for a while before you can continue your day……

[The_Real_Flump]

This is an amazing channel. I didn't know about you until I saw your "what happens when shanty singers play sea of thieves" video. I didn't know I needed this in my life before that.
I'm for sure gonna start following you guys and binge all your other stuff.

[h.d.kortright]

Would love to hear you guys do a rendition of "Over the hills and far away". Either the George Farquhar version or (even better) the John Tams version. Great job guys.

[the_peacetime_volunteer]

I’ve always wanted start a group like this

[ehyuhnwehghstehn]

This is so aesthetically pleasing to look at.

[TristanandIsolt]

This song is so good it would be a worthy addition to a Stan Rogers album.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us all! You are all truly magnificent. I have never donated before but after having a bad week you all put an smile that lasted throughout the duration of the stream. We are all instant fans! Cheers for you all! #seaofshanties

Additionally, it occurred to me that you could put out 20 minute episodes. Some episodes could be encounters with other players like reaction videos. Another possibility is to make videos where you sing from location to location, not knowing what may happen along the way. Then once you arrive at your destination continue with the game. That way we get to experience your progression in the game and get to hear your amazing voices. Also it gives you the ability to have a schedule and be ready to sing songs. This also means you don't depend on other players for your content. Which is the one weakness of my first idea. Please consider these ideas. You have a gold mine here. A chance to be massive on YouTube but you must act quickly. You are all talented and magnificent. I await your next video. Best of luck! Cheers!

Better that Steeleye Span's version! This shanty has the weirdest story, about Zachary Taylor Defeating Santa Anna in Mexico at the battle of Buena Vista. Why on earth British sailors would be singing about this is a mystery.

[christianstorms]

Found you over your "Sea of Thieves" short. Awesome.
Would be nice if the lyrics were in the description.

[belisauros]

Listening to this while I study, while I sleep, while I workout, while I eat, 24/7

[alekssavic]

Missed my personal favourite verse* but still nice to hear you guys (and gal) do a song I know.

* "a pint of rum for ever-y man
walk him along...
and a bloody great big barrel for the shantyman
carry him to..."

[HornedBeetle]

You guys need to be more popular, your shanty-ing is amazing!

[aaronmccullagh]

Even now I keep looking back to this video, the first shanty I heard from you guys, and the reason I now sing shanty music!
