120 - Roll The Woodpile Down - Shore Song


This version of the "Roll The Woodpile Down" is the shore Negro version, sailors sometimes sang the chorus from this version: "haul the woodpile down". This song will be sung in halyard shanty tempo, but of course, it is a shore song.
"Shanties from the Seven Seas" by Stan Hugill (1st ed p 161).
