One of the most interesting ambiguous chantey texts in Eckstorm & Smith. The given title is "Mobile Bay," but it's certainly not just the "Mobile Bay" discussed earlier in this thread. It starts like "John Come Tell Us," having the question-answer theme ("Was you ever?"/"Oh Yes"). It then starts to look like "Clear the Track/Eliza Lee"...but then it morphs into the ending of "Roller Bowler." I wonder what it sounded like.

Title: MOBILE BAY

Was you ever in Mobile Bay?
    A-hay! a-hue! ain't you most done?
A-screwin' cotton by the day?
    A-hay! a-hue! ain't you most done?
    Oh, yes, I've been in Mobile Bay
    A-screwing cotton by the day;
    So clear the track, let the bullgine run,
       With a rig-a-jig-jig and a ha-ha-ha,
            Good morning, ladies all!

p. 237. Indents are as in text. Mrs. Seth S. Thornton of Southwest Harbor, Maine said it was sung in her father's day. Topsail halliard chantey.

I challenge anyone to pin this down as one or another specific chantey found elsewhere!
