about

The lyrics of the sea shanty bemoan the challenges encountered from the global pandemic this past year through the eyes of the roving folk musicians. “O Corona” provides a catchy sing-along melody and unifying message for this holiday season and New Year: “Away, go away, O Corona!”

lyrics

Have you ever heard of COVID-19
O Corona
It’s the virus that put the world in quarantine
But this plaque won’t go away

Well away to away
O Corona
Go wash your hands and from me six feet stand
For this plaque won’t go away.

It’s broken our contracts and promises made
O Corona
We had tickets to ride on and shows that were paid
But this plague won’t go away

Well away to away
O Corona
Go wash your hands and from me six feet stand
For this plaque won’t go away.

So stay in your houses and flatten the curve
O Corona
Pick up some hobbies and don’t lose your nerve
This plague won’t go away.

Well away to away
O Corona
Go wash your hands and from me six feet stand
For this plaque won’t go away.

The cure you await is a fleeting white whale
O Corona
We’re stuck in the doldrums yet whipped in a gale
For this plague won’t go away.

Well away to away
O Corona
Go wash your hands and from me six feet stand
For this plaque won’t go away.

So fetch a new barrel and give us a dram
O Corona
Remember these days of no schedule or plan
For all of our plans have gone in the can
And our pensions are fucked and we don’t give a damn
For this plague won’t go away.

Well away to away
O Corona
Go wash your hands and from me six feet stand
For this plaque won’t go away.
