They're a transcription from a recording from the Shantygroup “Ship’n Whales” Norway!. Anybody know where the song comes from? Any corrections? -Joe- THESE OLD WOODEN BARS Stamp your feet boys, one more blow Round the capstan let it go Make it work lads, hear us sing Give the devil one more swing These old wooden bars got a hold on us, never let us go, These old wooden bars got a hold on us Let us go, let us go, let us go Well stamp your feet boys, keep up the pace Forget the grin on the old man's face To hell with the good boys, make him do the walk To hold Davey Jones for to have a talk These old wooden bars got a hold on us, never let us go, These old wooden bars got a hold on us Let us go, let us go, let us go Well keep the fate boys, walk the ring Acheny (???) and pain is the sweetest thing We won’t brake down, we won’t give in We’ll give the devil one more swing Give the devil one more swing These old wooden bars got a hold on us, never let us go, These old wooden bars got a hold on us Let us go, let us go, let us go Stamp your feet boys, one more blow Round the capstan let it go Make it work lads, hear us sing Give the devil one more swing These old wooden bars got a hold on us, never let us go, These old wooden bars got a hold on us Let us go, let us go, let us go |

If we heard this the first time, we already knew that on our next CD Ehrenplatz should be awarded. [Ehrenplatz is German and means 'place of honor']
Old Wooden Bars Øivind Nefstad Dieser wunderbare Shanty wurde von unserem Freund Øivind Nefstad aus Norwegen geschrieben. Als wir ihn das erste Mal hörten, wussten wir schon, dass er auf unserer nächsten CD einen Ehrenplatz bekommen sollte. Stamp your feet boys one more blow Round the capstan let it go Make your work lads hear a sing Give the devil one more swing These old wooden bars gotta hold on us Never let us go These old wooden bars gotta hold on us Let us go, let us go, let us go Well stamp your feet boys keep up the pace Forget the grin on the old man's face To hell with the cook boy let him do the walk To old Davie Jones for to have a talk These old wooden bars… Well keep the faith boys walk the ring Agony and pain is the sweetest thing We won’t break down we won’t give in We’ll give the devil one more swing These old wooden bars… Stamp your feet boys one more blow Round the capstan let it go Make your work lads hear a sing Give the devil one more swing These old wooden bars… |
