shipcmo	Sea Chantey Lyrics, MIDI tunes, & MP3's (54* d)	Sea Chanty Lyrics and MIDI tunes	15 Feb 11
In 1886 James Taft Hatfield made a passage on the bark Ahkera from Pensacola to Nice. While onboard he copied down some of the Chanties sung by the crew. One of them, Shiny-O! has already been posted on the thread: Lyr Req: Shiny-O or Shiney-O. Nancy Rhee lyrics Nan-cy \| Rhe- e, O Na - an -cy \| Rhe-e-e-\| e, My \| gal-ant Nan-cy \| Rhee! O, \| why don't you come a- \| long, my \| gal-ant Nan-cy \| Rhee? \|\| The Austral is the ship for me! I put bar lines in the text to give some idea how the words fit the tune. If it would help, I can post the abc notation, with a link to an abc to MIDI program that would produce a score. Cheers, Geo
