Well, it's been a very busy year for you lads.
It has been an absolutely fantastically busy year for us, John.
In between performing literally hundreds of concerts and festivals all over the world,
we actually managed to find time to record a brand new studio album
with the gorgeous and brilliant Sharon Shannon producing,
which has been doing massive business for us in the charts all over the world,
which we're really happy about.
Congratulations.
You seem to be having a lot of enjoyment, lads,
putting your own stamp on these traditional standards.
Well, you have to keep busy somehow, you know,
and we seem to raise a few eyebrows amongst the old guard in our activities,
you know, changing a few things here and there,
but not too much with the greatest respect, I hope.
But, yeah, it's been good fun.
We've had good fun messing around.
You're on fire, lads, on fire.
And come here, what's to say here about all these famous people following your own?
We've done some amazing gigs, sang for some incredible people,
most notably our own very present Mr Michael D.
Evans.
He invited us to the Oars and some fellow called President Obama over in the White House
invited us over for St Patrick's Day celebrations.
It was an absolutely incredible time and an absolute honour for us [Eb] to sing for them.
Incredible.
Fair play to you.
And what are you going to sing for us?
We're going to sing a song, it's an old sea shanty.
It's actually a pump shanty.
The lads just work away in these songs,
but we decided to do an a cappella version, a High King's version of it.
Would you like to hear it?
I'd love to.
It's called Leave Her Johnny.

Leave her [B]
Johnny, leave her.
Leave her Johnny, leave her.

And it's [E] time for us to leave her.
I'll pull [D] your lovers or you'll get no pay.
Leave her [Gb] Johnny, leave her.
I'll pull your lovers and then be [E] late.
And it's time [B] for us to [Eb] leave her.
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow.
And it's time for us to leave her.
Oh, I thought I heard the old man say,
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
It's a long hard pull till the next pay day.
And it's time for us to leave her.
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her.
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow.
And it's time for us to leave her.
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
