Welcome to Shanty-a-Day #380! We're the Harris Siblings and we love sea shanties - sing along from home with us and learn a new shanty every day while we're all stuck at home!

Handy, Me Boys

Handy, me boys, so handy!
Why can't you be so handy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!

O, up aloft this yard must go,
Handy, me boys, so handy!
O, up aloft from down below,
Handy, me boys, so handy!

O, growl you may but go you must.
You growl too much, your head they'll bust.

Handy, me boys, so handy!
We're all damn fond of brandy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!

Your advance is gone, you're at sea again.
Around Cape Horn through the hail and rain.

Two months' advance is blown away.
So you make your port and you take your pay.

O, rouse and shake her is the cry.
The bloody top-mast sheave is dry.

Handy, me boys, so handy!
The old man is a dandy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!

Around Cape Horn we're bound to go.
Around Cape Stiff, through the ice and snow.

We're bound down south around Cape Horn.
You'll wish to hell you'd never been born.

O, a handy cook and a steward too.
They spoil the grub they give the crew.

Handy, me boys, so handy!
Why can't you be so handy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!
