All of the following are in the song books section. This one surely tells much of the story of how a minstrel song covered the New Englander going down to Mobile Bay to screw cotton. Chorus format and sentiments all occur in the chanty genre.

Storm Along Stormy
As sung by J. White of White's Serenaders at The Melodeon

O I wish I was in Mobile Bay
Storm along Stormy
Screwing cotton all de day
Storm along Stormy
O you rollers storm along
Storm along Stormy
Hoist away an' sing dis song
Storm along Stormy.

I wish I was in New Orleans
Eating up dem pork and beans
Roll away in spite ob wedder
Come, lads, push all together.

I wish I was in Baltimore
Dancing on dat yankee shore,
One bale more, den we be done,
De sun's gwan down, an we'll go home.
