Roll Alabama, Roll!

The CW2 soundtrack was missing a sea shanty to give a good mood to the naval part of the game. I discovered this a few days ago :

Roll Alabama, Roll! by Swan Arcade (1972) - lyrics (and a longer version)

A song about the CSS Alabama, a ship who never saw a Confederation port and sunk near Cherbourg in Normandie, but not before "She boarded nearly 450 vessels, captured or burned 65 Union merchant ships, and took more than 2,000 prisoners without a single loss of life from either prisoners or her own crew." (source)
But I'm sure you all already knew this ! :hat:

And Shenandoah! Another shanty!

Rio Grande also comes to mind.
“In my opinion, Colonel Miles was a drunkard, a coward and a traitor, and if I had the power I would have had the United States buttons taken from his coat.”
