The Fenian Heave Up Songs (48) Heave Up Songs 08 Oct 97

Heave up songs are something like the marchin' "jodies?" The basic difference was they are used to "pump up" the silor's when they were rowin' or just generally to pass the work while on board. This is what I was told they were anyway. Such songs as (Haul Away Joe), (Big Bow Wow), South Australia) would all fall under this catagorie I would think. Anybody got any Heave up Songs out there?
