Shogun	Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun' (266* d)	RE: Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun'	12 Jun 22
196 - Mochyn Du - Capstan Shanty (Welsh) Mochyn Du was probably the most popular capstan shanties among Welsh crews, on the ships hailing in the main from Liverpool. This song is a folk song under another name "The Black Pig". Stan Hugill obtained these lyrics from H. B. Jones. Stan Hugill also states that were many versions of this song but not all of them were sung at sea. "Shanties from the Seven Seas" by Stan Hugill (1st ed p 238). Mochyn Du Redodd Dico i Lluyncelyn, Mofyn Mati at y mochyn, D'wedodd Matti, O mar arw, Mochyn du syd bron a marw, - O mor drwm yr ydym ni, - O mor drwm yr ydym ni, - Y mae yma alar calon, - Ar ol claddew mochyn du! 2 Melws iawn yw cael rhew seliscen, O gig mochyn gyda thatan, Ond y awr rhaid gwnaid heb hwnw, Mochyn du syd wedi marw. - O mor drwm yr ydym ni, - O mor drwm yr ydym ni, - Y mae yma alar calon, - Ar ol claddew mochyn du!
