From: SONGS OF SEA LABOUR (CHANTIES)by Frank Bullen, F.R.G.S., and W.F. Arnold, with an appreciation by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. London: Swan & Co. 1914. Two Notes: Notice the use of the "ch" spelling of "chanties" in a British publication. I've always thought that it was more common to use "sh" in the U.K. Also note that this book contains very little commentary on the chanteys, really only about 13 pages. The music is transcribed by Arnold from Bullen's singing, and the texts are only the first verse of each song, since Bullen claims that the words were usually extemporaneous and that a fixed text would be counter to the tradition.
