The Anglicans, who have been singing this song for over two centuries, would be shocked.

To be fair to murphy’s they’ve also come up with more than their fair share of veteran friendly songs such as last letter home and broken hymns.

The only word I can use to describe Crackhead Bob’s performance is “Amazing”. My mother’s funeral is on Monday, passed away at the age of 84. Any chance someone can track this guy and book him for Monday morning in Philadelphia? Mom always enjoyed a good laugh.

OK, when I first read “Crack Head” I thought that was the name of a band or rapper, not that he WAS a crackhead! LOL!! God-awful!
This is one of my favorite versions, from the movie Amazing Grace (great movie!):

Yeah, but before I pass final judgement, I want to hear the crackhead singing, “Shipping Up To Boston” just to make sure.
