Thanks to all who responded to this inquiry. Malcolm, a quote even! This is more impressive than the usual Mudcat thoroughness.

Hi Melani. I've actually sung this a couple of times at the Shanty Sing but since it doesn't have a chorus and is not a shanty I've stuck to chanteyranger's rules and only sung it after 11:00. I've never heard of pantsless sailors cavorting in the rigging before. Now "frigging in the rigging" I've heard of and can relate to.

And hello Barry. How's by you?

Lot's of good ideas here. And thanks to you other Mudcatters who I don't know personally yet.
