about

A fan art sea shanty about Mollymauk Tealeaf from the popular Dungeons & Dragons show Critical Role.

A few months ago (before the current sea shanty madness) I discovered an old sea song called Mollymauk (it's a kind of albatross) and I knew immediately that I needed to rewrite this to be about the beloved purple tiefling.

The idea languished in pandemic malaise for months, but now with the rise of the genre and also the current importance of the character to the CR storyline, I knew it was time to act!

lyrics

MOLLYMAUK

Now the Marrow Valley is a wild place
Where storms are many and friends are scarce
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave
Over troubled hist’ry and a restless life
You’ll see this Mollymauk’s rise and dive
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave

CHORUS:
Won’t you ride the wind and go, bright peacock
Ride the wind and go, Mollymauk
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave

Now our Mollymauk shines with them gaudy rings
Never a lonesome song he sings
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave
He's got no mem'ries and he sheds no tears
Nobody knows what the Mollymauk fears
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave

CHORUS

He’s the ghost of a hunter, so I’ve heard say
His body it sank and his soul flew away
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave
He found a haven and he found a home
Bound to the Nine, no more to roam
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave

CHORUS

When he laid down for to rise no more
Soul set adrift like it was before
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave
We did cast him loose, we did set him free
He'll always be part of our company
Far from the Savalirwood’s madness
Far from that empty grave

CHORUS x2
