Screenshot of a phone and post it. Damn, how lazy can you get
A letter of marque came from the king
To the scummiest vessel I’ve ever seen
GOD DAMN THEM ALL
I was told!
We'd cruise the seas
For American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears!
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The LAST of barrets privateers
I'm sorry, when I hear "Nova Scotianers", I think "Bubbles". I'm very sorry to those people.
Kitties are so nice.
You'll never hear anyone from there say "scotianer" it's just "Scotian"
Nova Scotian
But concur, kitties are very nice.
Dammit, now I'll have that in my head for the next week.
God damn them all.
Funny thing is - that song started going through my head before the image loaded. Just the title was enough to kick it off.
Nova Scotians*
Yes that bugs me too.
Not as bad as the time I heard someone call us "Novers"
The best rendition (IMO)
Wrong. Stan Rogers sitting around a kitchen table is the best version.

It is objectively the best rendition. Fight me.
Can't be the best one, because it isn't Stan Rogers
I thought you summon Nova Scotians with 'smokes, let's go'.
Kitties are so nice.

Hands down the best version.
TIL it's not "Cherbourg"
My kid would ask me to sing him this for bedtime.
Years later, went in for surgery. According to the nurses, I woke up in the recovery room singing this out loud.
"GODDAMN THEM ALL..."
Ok that left me absolutely rolling. That's wonderful.
When I was young I'd always listen to the song in the car with my parents because it was the one time I was allowed to say "God damn"
