I play the Whokulele all the time... ;)

So in keeping with the whole ~*Siren*~ thing and because I’ve been on a Pirates of the Caribbean kick, here’s a quick a capella cover of My Jolly Sailor Bold from Pirates 4 (aka the film we pretend doesn’t exist but the music’s great so). Enjoy! xxx

My Jolly Sailor Bold (From Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End)

Upon one summer’s morning, I carelessly did stray,
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay,
Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seem’d to be in pain, Saying, William, when you go, will you e’er return again?

A fig for his riches, his merchandize, and gold,
Love is grafted in my heart; give me my sailor bold:
Should he return in poverty, from o’er the ocean far,
To my tender bosom, I’ll press my jolly tar.

My sailor is as smiling as the pleasant month of May,
And oft we have wandered through Ratcliffe Highway,
Where many a blooming girl we happy did behold,
Reclining on the bosom of her jolly sailor bold.

Come all you pretty fair maids, wherever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor that ploughs the raging sea,
While up aloft, in storm or gale, from me his absence mourn,
And firmly pray, arrive the day, he home will safe return.

My name it is Maria, a merchant’s daughter fair,
And I have left my parents’ three thousand pounds a year,
My heart is pierced by Cupid,
I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold.

My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold.

She’s done it again.
I simply can NOT listen to her voice without falling in love with it over and over again.
