Can't be there, but here's a shanty .
Sat down for a drink in Liverpool town
HO RO - HO O RO.
When I woke I was outward bound
HO RO HO

For the Congo river we sailed away
HO RO - HO O RO
Bought and paid for a cargo of slaves
HO RO HO

Packed them tighly in the hold
HO RO - HO O RO
and sailed away with our black gold
HO RO HO

Half way across they caught the plague
HO RO - HO O RO
us poor sailors were sore afraid
HO RO HO

We threw their bodies over the side
HO RO - HO O RO
some poor devils were still alive
HO RO HO

For the couple of dollars they paid to me
HO RO - HO O RO
My soul is damned for eternity
HO RO HO
