Shenandoah (F. T. Bullen) - Capstan Shanty

This is another capstan shanty with the name "Shenandoah", a song given by F.T. Bullen "Songs Of Sea Labour" (1914). Stan Hugill mention is that Bullen says, about the first four shanties from his collection, where "Shenandoah" was fourth:
   "They are negro Chanties all right enough, but they were not in common use on board ship. If however it be demurred that the time is long since I learned them and memory may fail me, I can only reply I heard them every day for about a month, that I have never forgotten a tune I once learned, no matter how long ago it may have been, and consequently the correctness of these airs may be thoroughly relied on."
"Shanties from the Seven Seas" by Stan Hugill (1st ed p 177).


Shenandoah (F. T. Bullen)


Oh, Shenandoah, my bully boy, I long to hear you holler,
Way ay, ay ay ay, Shenandoh,
I lub ter bring er tot er rum en see ye make a swoller,
Way ay, ay ay, Shenandoh.
