Shanty Man Nathan Evans

[Verse 1]
Modern ships carry mighty funny gear
And away, get away, you shanty man
Ain't seen a halyard for many's a year
And they got no use for a shanty man
Slick new fittings are all your style
And away, get away, you shanty man
All very clever, but they just ain't right
And they got no use for a shanty man

[Chorus]
Shanty man, oh shanty man
Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
When they got no use for a shanty man

[Verse 2]
Levers to pull and buttons to press
And away, get away, you shanty man
Real-life sailors who need 'em less
And they got no use for a shanty man
Floating computer dressed as a ship
And away, get away, you shanty man
Skippered and crewed by a microchip
And they got no use for a shanty man
