Title: "Haul 'Er Away" -- 'version B'!

Print: Hugill; Olmsted
Performers: Tom Sullivan; Gibb Sahib; more...gets confusing due to similar titles

Notes:
Lyrically, related to "Cheerly Man" on one hand (known for having been referenced in Dana and Melville) and to what Hugill called 'version (A)' (known for its tune being that of the common JA song, Missa Ramgoat/Hill 'n' Gully). The "Sally Rackett" theme tends to suggest a song is shaped in the Caribbean (as in the previous, "Tiddy High O").

The one other print source, that I know of, that mentions THIS chantey, is Olmsted INCIDENTS OF A WHALING VOYAGE (1841). The tune has some variations, but it is clearly the same chantey.

Hugill doesn't mention a source by name, just that he learned it in the West Indies. Performances on record are infrequent. One recording I am aware of is Tom Sullivan's on the SALT ATLANTIC CHANTEYS record (1980). It is fairly clear that his is a work up of Hugill's text. Incidentally, he attributes it to Harding, which may not be correct.
