Q&A

A hundred years ago Lyrics

A hundered years on the eastern shore
Oh yes, oh
A hundered years on the eastern shore
A hundered years ago

I went to sail across the sea
Oh yes, oh
My love said she'd be true to me
A hundered years ago

I promised her a golden ring
Oh yes, oh
She promised me that little thing
A hundered years ago

Oh Bully John from Bolton Moor
Oh yes, oh
I knew him well that son of a hoar
A hundered years ago

Oh BUlly John i knew him well
Oh yes, oh
But now he's dead and gone to hell
A hudnered years ago

I thought i heard the skipper say
Oh yes, oh
Just one more pull and then belay
A hundered years ago-o!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
