Rumncoke	Origins: Cheer'ly Man - history (Cheerily Man) (35)	RE: Cheer'ly Man - history	19 Jun 15
I know this one from the time when I had a yacht in the 1970s, along with the faster rhythm of 'haul'em away. there was Hetty Hawkins ey-oh cheerly man In her white stockings ey-oh cheerly man Beats all at knocking ey-oh Cheerly man oh Haul a ey-oh ho! cheerly man. The two chanteys had similar but not entirely interchangeable words, for instance little Delis Ducket, haul em away washes in a bucket haul em away she's a whore but doesn't look it, haul em away haul a hay ho, haul em away doesn't fit into cheerly man's rhythm.
