Great Master - "All For Me Grog" (lyric video)

And it's all for me grog
Me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander

Where are me boots
Me noggin, noggin boots?
They're all gone for beer and tobacco
For the heels they are worn out
And the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking
For better weather

And it's all for me grog,
Me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander

Where is me shirt
Me noggin, noggin shirt?
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the sleeves they are worn out
And the tail is turn about
And the collar‘s lookin' out
For better weather

And it's all for me grog,
me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander

I'm sick in the head
And I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore
With me plunder
Well I spent all me dough
On the lassies don't you know,
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander.

And it's all for me grog,
Me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander

Παλιές καραβάνες στον χώρο οι Great Master. Δημιουργήθηκαν στην Ιταλία το 1993, αλλά ουσιαστικά δισκογραφούν την τελευταία δεκαετία (στα 90ς είχαν μόνο δύο demos). Τέσσερα full length albums ο απολογισμός τους τα τελευταία δώδεκα χρόνια με το πέμπτο να είναι προ των πυλών. Ο διάδοχος του δίσκου "Skull and Bones - Tales from Over the Seas" τιτλοφορείται "Thy Harbour Inn" κι αναμένεται τον επόμενο μήνα...

Great Master: «Here we are crew!!! We are about to reach the final chapter of our pirate adventure, and then we decided to fire two cannon shots for the occasion! On May 20th under Underground Symphony, "Thy Harbour Inn" will be released, a roundup of traditional seafaring songs revisited in a metal key, with all the energy and epic arrangements of the Great Master sound, mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio and at the same time we announce the official entry of Jack Lauretani on drums! The vessel awaits you, all aboard!!!»

Great Master (about the song): «All For Me Grog is a song born at sea that quickly became a popular pub and tavern song in ports around the world. It tells the story of a man who spends all his money on alcohol and tobacco, and then sells all of his belongings (including his boots, shirt and bed) as a means of further financing grog and tobacco. The resulting hangover is clearly sensed, but the song is light-hearted and is a celebration of drinking and carefree life.»
