A Hundred Years Songtext
von Storm Weather Shanty Choir

Oh, a hundred years is a very long time
Oh, yes, oh
A hundred years is a very long time
A hundred years ago

A hundred years on the eastern shore
Oh, yes, oh
Oh, a hundred years on the eastern shore
A hundred years ago
Old Bully John from Baltimore
Oh, yes, oh
I knew him well, that son of a whore
A hundred years ago


Old Bully John, I knew him well
Oh, yes, oh
But now he′s dead and he's gone to hell
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years ago

He′s dead and gone forevermore
Oh, yes, oh
He's dead and gone, that son of a whore
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years ago
A hundred years have passed and gone
Oh, yes, oh
It's a hundred years since I made this song
A hundred years ago

They thought the stars were set alight
Oh, yes, oh
By a bunch of angels every night
