We All Row Together - Horrific Histories

Another twist on Paul McCartney's 'We All Stand Together' - this time parodied for my Horrific Histories collection.
Enjoy!

We All Stand Row Together not by Paul McCartney
Galley slaves, condemned men
Land is just one thing we’ll not see again
Chained to oars, doomed to die
We all row together

Not Romans, never were
This is a misconception that you’ll hear
They’re soldiers, we’re peasants
We all row together

Aaaaaaaggggghhhh
It’s such a hideous sight
Aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh
We won’t escape
From our poor fate

Born paupers, stole to live
But crime is something they cannot forgive
Working hard, facing war
We all row together

Aaaaaaaggggghhhh
Ours is a pitiful plight
Aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh
Torture and strife
10 years is life

Caught convicts, wretched souls
Only fresh air comes in through these small holes
No hygiene, disease is rife
We all row together

Instrumental chorus

Instrumental verse

We all row together!
