A poor old man came riding by
And we say so and we know so
Oh, a poor old man came riding by
Oh poor old man
Says I old man your horse will die
And we say so and we know so
And if he dies we'll tan his hide
Oh poor old man
And if he don't i'll ride him again
And we say so and we know so
And I'll ride him till the lord knows when
Oh poor old man
Hes dead as a nail in the lamp room door
And we say so and we know so
And he wont come worrying us no more
Oh poor old man
We'll use the hair of his tail to sew our sails
And we say so and we know so
And the iron of his shoes to make deck nails
Oh poor old man
Drop him down with a long long rope
And we say so and we know so
Where the sharks will have his body and the devil takes his soul
Oh poor old man

So they're gonna steal this old man's horse, ride it to death, tan its hide, use its hair to sow the sails, use its horseshoes to make nails, and then dump the body in the ocean to eliminate the evidence. Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the first example of a rapper snitching on himself in his album.

@Shadethewolfy

3y↑26

It was the horse, I can tell you that for certain. "Paying of the dead horse" was a well-known tradition during the Age of Sail, where sailors would celebrate their first month at sea by singing this song and tossing an effigy of a horse (usually made out of scrap) overboard.

@davidwright7193

3y↑21

The old man is the captain and his horse is the crew. This shanty is sung around the end of the first month when the crew has worked off their advance and are now being paid for their work.

This somewhat peculiar--sounding sea chanty was sung to commemorate "Burning the Dead Horse", a ceremony somewhat like the ceremonies performed on Navy ships when they "Cross the Line", and formerly performed at sea on merchant vessels when the ship's crew had worked off the advances on their salaries paid when they first signed on board and began to work at a profit. As far as I am aware, the ceremony of "Burning the Dead Horse" pretty much went out of use by the end of the 19th Century.

For me I like to imagine that this old man is not being set upon by pirates that are stealing his horse but in fact is a lonely poor old man and with his last remaining strength is joining the crew as a privateer. but what to do with his horse? and the crew made a song about it all. the old man actually died shortly after joining the crew and the song is more about him than the horse. I cannot seem to find evidence of this but I have heard old horses referred too as "old man" and I have heard old men referred to as "old horse". I think they are playing on this.
