We've indulged in some rock and roll fun in this version of The Sailboat"Malarky" a song we heard from Portland, Oregon Shanty singer Mary Benson, who's been singing it for years. We just couldn't resist.
lyrics
The Sailboat Malarkey
traditional arranged by Pint and Dale
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Who is the man that built this fine boat?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Richardson, Richardson built this fine boat
It's the sailboat Malarkey
And now me boys, we are bound out to sea
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Windward Caroline come down to me
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
She's lovely aloft and she's lovely below
It's the sailboat Malarkey
but best on her back as you very well know
It's the sailboat Malarkey
So lift her up boys and bring her down
It's the sailboat Malarkey
And hang on tight as she bounces around
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
I'd give the world, and all that I know
It's the sailboat Malarkey
To turn and roll with my Lucy-oh
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Away away in St George's town
It's the sailboat Malarkey
the rats come batting the houses down
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
Tell me, what is this sailboat's name?
It's the sailboat Malarkey
