Nice songs, Kush. I feel that Butch Hancock has a similarity to Bob Dylan in his performances.

[Kush]

Indeed there is more than a passing similarity to Bob Dylan as well as the Dylan-Baez duets.

Bob Dylan wrote a chapter on Townes Van Zandt and Pancho & Lefty in his book, but also mentioned Butch Hancock as well as Guy Clarke in that chapter.

(grainy footage of Butch Hancock and Marce Lacouture from 1985)


The corsaire the grand coureur
a vessel of disaster
when the fleet leave the shore
in pursuit of enemy
The wind, the waves, and the war
turn against these men of sea


C'mon all hands hooray
C'mon all hands hoorah!

From Lorient to the great seas
with good waves
and good breeze
it tacks to portside fast
navigates the way with ease.
But alas a gust strikes the mast
Behold the state of our spars!

We must repair for the race
hoist the sails at a pace
whilst we work with good cheer
Look to the starboard, sail ho!
And sure enough a great
ship appears
Carronades signal our foe

It was an English ship it's true
with gunports and deadly crew
a trader in human souls
but we French know not fear.
Yes we will fight till the
death knell toll
The battle's why we're here.

With heavy fire danger grows
we return them blow for blow
and the beards of the brave
are steaming in the fight.
And then a mist does
drown us like a wave
And the enemy take flight!


And our swag after 6 months?
just three times they breached
our front
a fleet full of such loot
half-wrecked and but no defeat.
One boat was filled with
empty boots
Another packed with
rotten meat!

For the battles yet to come
we got feasts second to none
we've rancid lard & beans
vinegar in lieu of wine.
Rotten sea bread fit for a queen
A dose of camphor rise & shine!

If the story of grand coureur
does cause your heart to stir
we’ve one request, it's sincere
to drink, drink away.
Be it wine, be it rum, be it beer
Privateers will cheer hooray!

I enjoyed the footage, Kush. I have just been listening to the Texas Tornados singing a Butch Hancock song, ‘She never spoke Spanish to me.’

Hello Kush,

More marvellous music from The Texas Tornados and Butch Hancock. Thank you for posting the links. I continue to watch The Texas Tornados’ version of the Tom Russell Song, ‘Haley’s Comet’.

Nice. That is a rare one, don't believe I have seen it before. I am having a Texas Tornados moment, wish I had seen them live.

Hello again Kush.

Thank you for those links. I have always enjoyed listening to the accordion and Flaco Jiménez is brilliant. I still have a long way to go with my efforts on the instrument. Here are links to his playing with Dwight Yoakam.

Thanks for the links Tony. I have seen Buenos Noches before. I used to have a couple of cassette tapes, one of Dwight Yoakam and another of Dan Seals in the 80s that I listened to constantly.
