Star Citizen Pirate Shanty - Rollin' Down to Old Ruin

I spent Saturday hopping on the Shanty bandwagon and recorded a Star Citizen adaptation of the whaling song 'Rolling Down to Old Maui'.

Please excuse the missed apostrophe on 'Theres', and the quality of the audio - I did my best, but my setup is not really built for music recording.

LYRICS Tis a damn tough life full of toil and strife we reavermen undergo, And we don’t give a damn when the fight is done How hard the cannons did blow, ‘cause we’re homeward bound from the hunting ground With a good ship and crew within, And we won’t give a damn when we drink our fill In the holds of Old Ruin.

Chorus: Rolling down to Old Ruin, me boys Rolling down to Old Ruin, We’re homeward bound from the Hunting Grounds Rolling down to Old Ruin.

Once more we fly through the Stanton sky Through the black, and cold and pain. Them bulkhead walls, them mighty guns, We soon shall see again. For six hellish weeks we’ve passed our way Plying our grim living , But now we’re bound from the hunting ground Rolling down to Old Ruin.

[Chorus]

Once more we fly to the Pyro point, toward our station home. Our stealing done, our jump drive spun, and we ain't got far to roam. Our crimes are tallied, Our names are dirt Life sentences all round. A living gale is after us, Thank God we're homeward bound!

[Chorus]

How soft the light from the dying star now the law is far astern, There's drinks abound in the Neutral Ground awaiting our return. Even now our friends are looking out Hoping some fine day to see, Our engine tail sparking dazz-lin trails Rolling down to Old Ruin.

[Chorus] We’re homeward bound from the Hunting Ground Rolling down to Old Ruin.
