New Sea shanty

    Ahoy! Dear Rare, me and my friend have a suggestion for a new sea shanty to be put into the game. The tune in question is the melody of the famous song "House of the Rising Sun". We believe that this would be possible since the text and music belong to no one. We think that the tune would fit right in place like a grog in a seafarer's belly!

    We hope that this request will be considered. We long for some new tunes/shanties to enjoy while exploring the Sea of Thieves and believe this could be a fine addition to the collection.

    Sincerely,
    Robin (get SHREXED), Merchant Officer
    William (Crossman125), Hunter of The Ancient Terror

    LOL, you obviously don't know the song predates The Animals version by many, many decades (as well as the invention of the electric guitar) and was recorded by other artists before that.

    @voidshipwrecks Actual origins and writer are unknown as it is an old folk song. Woodie (knowingly misspelled here due to stupid filter) Guthrie even recorded a version before the Animals (in 1941), which was acoustic. Some say it may date back to the 1600's or 1700's, miners were known to sing it in 1905, first published lyrics appeared in 1925. The Animals version is just the most well known and popular version of the song.
