The Rebel Black Dot Sea Shanty of the Day
Flogging Molly, "Salty Dog" from Swagger (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: "Salty Dog" recounts the various misadventures of a salty dog, including drunken brawling, shipwreck, & a perilous encounter with the Spaniards.

"The ship went down, we all near drowned,
Ya stood there on the deck,
'Til the Spanish came and flogged yer arse,
And dragged ya from the wreck.

"They threw a rope around your neck
To watch you dance the jig of death…"
