I still find myself jumping around haphazardly. Still plenty of material to try out.

From the Great Lakes:
Goodbye, My Lover, Goodbye

From Lomax's 1962 Caribbean tour:
I Spend 40 Shilling
Caesar, Boy, Caesar

And from Abrahams' Caribbean collection:
Hell of a Wedding
Caesar, oh, Caesar (Thomas Sailor Run 'way)

The version in Bullen's collection of one of the best yet, strangely, often overlooked chanties:
Roll the Cotton Down

And one of the "fag ends" from Hugill's "Bosun's Locker" articles:
Rolling Home (Scandinavian capstan version)
