Shogun Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun' (266* d) RE: Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun' 12 Jun 22


141 - River Shenandore (Laura Alexandrine Smith Version) - Capstan Shanty

This is one of the most popular of all capstan and windlass shanties, the "Shenandoah". The interesting fact according to Stan Hugill is that no two shantymen ever sang the same pronunciation of the word "Shenandoah". Shenandoar, Shannandore, Shanandar, and Shanidah were all used. This is the version when crossed Sally Brown.

River Shenandore (Laura Alexandrine Smith Version)

You Shanandore, I long to hear you,
   - Hurrah, you rollin' river!
You Shanandore, I long to hear you,
   - Ah, ha, you Shanandore.
