Right, before you start reading the lyrics, yes, I know they're c**p, yes, I know it needs work but hey, for something I did in about 45 minutes out of boredom, it ain't bad. P.S. THE LYRICS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR THE FIRST 2 MINUTES OF THE SONG THE LAST 45 SECONDS IS JUST WIND DOWN MUSIC.

Sea of Thieves - (Becalmed) Hurdy-Gurdy Instrument Soundtrack

(Swansea is a port town in Britain: pronounced Swanzee) This to the left is not lyrics

Back-home-in-Swan-sea-my-love awaits-for me to-re-turn-in-time

She-sits-'neath-the-tree-where-we-met-and she-looks-to-the-sea

and she cries: come home to me---Be-Calmed-My-Love

For-one-day-I-will-see-you-again-and we'll be to-ge-ther then

Oh it's been far-too-long-since---I last met with you-'neath-that-tree

And-I-fear-I-never-will-again---For-these-rough-wa-ters-are-fierce

and-the-men-are-even-more-so---So-this-sun-rise-is-my-last

The king's fleet is on the hori-zon---so this is my requiem

I absolutely luv it! Followed along perfectly and it has a beautiful story.

Cool stuff like this is why I luv this game and community.

45-mins very well spent :)

Thank you for this!!!

ps. Very Celtic feel to it while staying true to pirates wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Amazing :)

Someone. Sing. This. NAO!!!!!!!!!11

I'll have a blast at singing it this week! Will pop it in here when done :)

@abutosin Great stuff.
I am forever rewriting lyrics to song and we do it a fair bit with this game on those long voyages.

I tried to sing along using your lyrics to the music but wasn't sure exactly were to come in and got way out of sync. lol
Could you please add the video time counter as to when silly ol' fools like me should start singing. And don't say "Never" until you've suffered from my wonderful singing voice. lol :o)

What do we do with a drunken sailor
What do we do with the ripped off players
What do we do when the devs are taters
Early access warning

Oh. My bad. Wrong lyric sheet.

On a serious note: good stuff dude. Bravo.

I know that you're - just having fun
But it got a laugh - so keep this one
Let's see how long we can make it run
Before they close this thread down.

I met this girl - upon the shore
Fed her grog - 'til she took no more
Who said this game has no score?
High five in the morning.

She played the flute - like no other
Said she had learnt it - from her mother
I thought to myself that's the one I'd rather
So I released the ship from it's mooring.

I thought everything - was going good
She assured me - that she understood
Then went below deck just to grab my wood
And tossed it onto the sea.

I yelled at her - 'cause supplies are rare
'Twas something I thought - that she wouldn't dare
With hands on hips said she didn't care
Gawd dang crazy woman.

Now she's eyeing off - my (cannon) balls
Both barrels empty - well, just because
But I still have her inside these walls
Locked up in my brig.

What shall I do - with this naked sailor
Take out my sword - and maybe impale her?
Bad seamen will only fail ya
Feed her to the sharks. Oi! :o)

You're turn now - to write some lines
Anything nautical - as long as it rhymes
Just keep above board and you'll be fine
Help keep the thread alive, please.

@guichiodi2 By all means.
