Bully Boys Lyrics

And it's Row Me Bully Boys
We're in a hurry boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid Farewell to France
And it's Row me Bully Boys Row

We sailed away in the roughest of water
Row me Bully Boys Row
But now we return in the most royal quarters
Row me Bully Boys Row

And it's Row Me Bully Boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid Farewell to France
And it's Row me Bully Boys Row

See now we feast on pheasants by the flock
Row me Bully Boys Row
It's a long, long way from the gruel and the stocks
Row me Bully Boys Row

And it's Row Me Bully Boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid Farewell to France
And it's Row me Bully Boys Row

Love don't you leave me alone
Say you'll be waiting when we take the Cove
If we make good time on the tides
Say you'll lay with me in starlight tonight
Let the mainsail be full and the fair breezes blow
Lets pray every pull finds us closer to home
And it's Row

A wee dram of whisky for every man
Row me Bully Boys Row
And a Barrel of Rum for the shanty man
And it's Row me Bully Boys Row

And it's Row Me Bully Boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid Farewell to France
And it's Row me Bully Boys Row

We sailed away in the roughest of water
Row me Bully Boys Row
But now we return and so lock up your daughters
Row me Bully Boys Row

And it's Row Me Bully Boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid Farewell to France
And it's Row me Bully Boys Row

And it's Row Me Bully Boys
We're in a hurry, boys
We got a long way to go
We'll sing and we'll dance and bid Farewell to France
And it's Row me Bully Boys
We're in a hurry, boys
Row Me Bully Boys Row

There are two artists with the name Alan Doyle:

1. Singer for the band Great Big Sea.

Newfoundland's Alan Doyle learned piano and drums as a child, soon moving on to guitar (and eventually mandolin, bouzouki, and pretty much anything with strings). He joined his uncle's rockabilly-meets-traditional-Newfoundland band the New Standells at the age of 15, and while attending St. John's University, he was one half of a duo (with John Benton) called Staggering Home. Following a series of informal jam sessions with members of the Celtic rock band Rankin Street (Sean McCann, Bob Hallett, and Darrell Power), Doyle joined forces with them and Great Big Sea were born. Mixing traditional Newfoundland music with a fresh pop sensibility, and with Doyle handling lead vocals, the band released a self-titled album independently in 1992, and then signed with Warner Canada, which promptly reissued the debut. Some ten studio albums followed as Great Big Sea grew into one of Canada's biggest and most respected bands. Doyle issued a solo album, Boy on Bridge, in 2012, followed by his second solo effort, So Let's Go, in 2015.

2. Alan Doyle is an Irish singer-songwriter. He recently released the EP “his words left fatal wounds – demos”, a work in progress of his second LP and his first important release in Ireland. Alan was previously based in Spain for six years where he formed part of Madrid's emerging independent music scene and where he launched his debut LP “Places”. All of the music which Alan has released to date has been completely written, performed and produced by Alan himself. Read more on Last.fm.
