One of my faves on the album. Legitimately did not realize it was an original.

I’ve always loved the melody to this song. Especially the chorus, love the way it lifts for 3 lines then resolves with the “Roll Northumbria, roll”. Always gets stuck in my head

Legendary song! I had it on repeat just last week, and now that you've brought it up, think I will be listening to it again this afternoon. Amazing lyrics and melody!

Amazing song - some of my mates have TRIED to sing it at Shanty club, it's hard!

One of them sings it every night to his kids - they were real surprised when they came over to my place and the whole group came in for the chorus.

Hey Frank, want us to send you the harmony parts isolated? We have them recorded and it makes it a lot easier to learn. Let us know!
