"Lukey's Boat" is a comical folk song originating from the east coast of Newfoundland. Given its metre, it may have derived from a sea shanty. There are many minor variations of the song, depending on the singer; however it is essentially about the characteristics of the title boat, with the last few stanzas about Lukey returning home to find his wife dead and buried (which appears not to grieve him much, as he'll have another "in the spring of the year"). The earliest printed version was in "Ballads from Nova Scotia" (1932) by Helen Creighton, listed as "Loakie's Boat". It was recorded as "Lukey" by Great Big Sea for their 1995 album ''Up'', by Great Big Sea with The Chieftains for the 1998 album ''Fire in the Kitchen'', by Fiddler's Green, a German folk band, for their 2007 album ''Drive Me Mad!'', and The Kreellers on ''Sixth and Porter'' released in 2008. Used as a theme song for Australian comedian Lukey Bolland. Also recorded in 1966 by John White, from St John's, Newfoundland. ==Video== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lukey's Boat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
