Name: Bully Boys (Row Me Bully Boys)
Written By: Alan Doyle / Rambling Sailors
Tuning: Standard (Capo on 3rd)
Key: D (played in F)
Time Signature: 6/8
Tempo: 180 bpm on the eighth note
This song was made by Alan Doyle on the set of Robin Hood as a drinking song. The movie is one of my
favorites, and this song always gets stuck in my head. Alan wrote the 4 choruses, but the verses were written
by fans who enjoyed the tuned and wanted to enhance it. Personally, I this combination sounds the best to me,
and I feel like I'm following the style of a folk tale as discribed by Alan himself. So, hopefully, others
will enjoy this as much as I do. :)
