A letter of marque came from the king
To the scummiest vessel I’ve ever seen
GOD DAMN THEM ALL
I was told!
We’d cruise the seas
For American gold
We’d fire no guns, shed no tears!
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
TIL it’s not “Cherbourg”
My kid would ask me to sing him this for bedtime.
Years later, went in for surgery. According to the nurses, I woke up in the recovery room singing this out loud.
“GODDAMN THEM ALL…”
Ok that left me absolutely rolling. That’s wonderful.
I’m sorry, when I hear “Nova Scotianers”, I think “Bubbles”. I’m very sorry to those people.
You’ll never hear anyone from there say “scotianer” it’s just “Scotian”
Nova Scotian
But I concur, kitties are very nice.
When I was young I’d always listen to the song in the car with my parents because it was the one time I was allowed to say “God damn”
Hands down the best version.
Dammit, now I’ll have that in my head for the next week.
The best rendition (IMO)
Wrong. Stan Rogers sitting around a kitchen table is the best version.
It is objectively the best rendition. Fight me.
Can’t be the best one, because it isn’t Stan Rogers
Nova Scotians*
