  • The Civil War Playlist now comes up to the Great Lakes! This song, "Shanty Boys" is based on a logging tune that became popular in the 1880's Logging boom in Michigan and Wisconsin. As a tune from the region's past, what better to fit as inspiration for the national pride of the Midwest? For those confused as to what a "Shanty Boy" is (especially if you come from a nautical background); Shanty Boys, or Shanties, were simply workmen. In lore, "The Shanties" were one of the three main Militias that made up the first Midwest Rebellion. For more lore, checkout the instrumental version linked in the pinned comment, and as always, Lyrics Below!
    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Come all ye jolly shanty boys, come listen to my song.
    It’s all about the shanties and how they get along.
    They are a jolly crew of boys, so merry and so fine
    Who while away the winters a-livin’ among the pines.
    [Verse 2]
    From The Mississippi, To the mountains co’ered in Pine.
    These are the lands that, our love it does enshrine.
    So come on up ye merry men, before the break of day.
    And join our jolly troop of rebels, in the woods away.
    [Verse 3]
    All we want, I think is clear, though a Fed won’t understand.
    Is the freedom and the dignity of a Free Mid-Western Man.
    For if we win, we’ll sure bring back the things that made us great.
    For we used to be the Steel heartland of the Old United States
    [Verse 4]
    The Feds in Washington DC are tyrants through and through.
    With guns and tanks and bombs they steal all from me and you.
    Their laws and dictates only serve to make us bleed for them,
    But enough’s enough, we’ve bled too much, so now we stand again.
    [Verse 5]
    Now Stand on up, and join the strike, we’ll bleed the feds all dry.
    They’ll never strike our homes again nor the homes of our allies.
    They need us more than we need them, we don’t need to comply,
    With the quotas and the orders for the federal supply.
    [Verse 6]
    In the South the rebels face the federal machine.
    While in the west they hold the line from desert to mountains green.
    The rest of them they do supply with food and gasoline.
    Such a web of allies, we do make a wild scene.
    [Verse 7]
    In Washington DC, the Tyrants think that we are dead.
    They’re sure that the Great Lakes will never ever wish them dead.
    But our first revolt, though we lost will surely keep us safe.
    As the Feds now turn their backs to us and face the rebel states.
    [Verse 8]
    But now the word has reached our ears of Rebels in the North.
    From Rochester, and Burlington, and Concord they come forth.
    And now we have a fighting chance to save our lovely states.
    Soon the Tyrants will be ovrethrown and we will set things straight!
    [Verse 9]
    So raise the banners once again, We stand as one to die.
    They broke us once before but now we’d love to see them try.
    We know now what they’ll do to us if we loose the bloody fight.
    So never will we surrender, for today it’s do or die!
    [Verse 10]
    Come all ye jolly shanty boys, come listen to my song.
    It’s all about the shanties and how we get along.
    We are a jolly crew of boys, so merry and so fine
    Who while away the winters a-livin’ among the pines.

    This song is pretty experimental for the channel as some may notice that there is no guitar, and there are other instruments. That and I changed up the style of displaying text, seeing how vertical display of verses works better than line-by-line. Please do comment and let me know how y'all liked it so I know if I should keep these changes going forward.
    As followers of the channel know I've been bouncing around the different regions of the US writing songs addressing each part of the country and writing at least one song for each. I've covered Dixie, the Rockies, the Northeast so far. I've even got a song in the playlist for the anarchists and communists. But that's definitely not all. I was originally going to post the last song of the Civil War Playlist (for this month) on the RUclipss, but after careful consideration of the RUclips Terms of Service, I'm making it a Patreon Exclusive. This last song is called "Iron Company" and is a song for the PMCs and Mercenary bands that pop up during the conflict. Fans of Dr. Ludwig and Karl Sternau *may* find the melody familiar too. If you're interested in hearing the new tune, check out the Patreon:

    And, if you're curious about the lore for the song, it's explained *more* indepth in the Instrumental version which can be found here:

    Would you consider doing a rendition of Battle Cry of Freedom? I think while the corruption of the oligarchs in Washington and communists in the west would drive a lot away from Federalism, I for one would love to see some form of Unionist movement based on rebuilding the United States as it was intended, with the Constitution as the law of the land instead of tyrants whims. It's a classic song and for a Pennsylvanian Unionist like me, it would be awesome to hear. I only recently found your channel, but all your work has been awesome, and I've loved the Americana music.
