about

The Worldwide Shanty Projects first release with a song written by Chris Ricketts. One 30 musicians worldwide unite in singing after losing the summer festivals where they usually meet.

lyrics

We talk of old times, and what came before
God knows the hard times of old England
And it takes a vague for us all to hold hands
And pat each others backs

Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said it wouldn’t be hard
But in this plight, on this dark and lonely night,
ill see you on the other side x 2

We are stuck in our homes, hoarding toilet rolls
Because we don’t know how long this will be
But the jokes that we’ve seen, the vids and the memes,
Keep us smiling on

Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said it wouldn’t be hard
But in this plight, on this dark and lonely night,
ill see you on the other side x 2

And we’ll all stand together, we’ll get through this time x 2

Now the days are now brighter, our clothes a little tighter
as we learn how to move on
And once again, its the working class
That help bail our leaders out

we’ll all stand together, we’ll get through this time x 4
