This is another halyard shanty, meaning it was used to coordinate the sailors' effort when pulling up the sails or any other job for which they needed to "haul yards" of rope.
All of the Shanties are now available at Bandcamp: seandagher.bandcamp.com

I changed some of the instruments behind me. Do you know what they are?
Please feel free to share this with your friends (be they sailors or not!). You can find me on Twitter @seandagher.
Happy singing and come back again next week for the next Shanty of the Week!
A Hundred Years Ago
Oh, a hundred years is a very long time, Wey, oh wey!
A hundred years is a very long time, A hundred years ago!
A hundred years on the eastern shore.
A hundred years, bone stiff and sore.
Oh, Bully Old John from Baltimore,
I knew him well, that son of a whore.
He used to think that pigs could fly,
Can you believe that bloody lie?
He thought the stars were set alight,
By a bunch of angels every night.
Oh, Bully Old John, I knew him well,
But now he's dead and he's gone to hell.
He's dead as a nail in the lamproom floor.
He won't come bothering us no more.
A hundred years have passed and gone,
A hundred years since I made this song.
It's time for us to go!
