GRex christmas shanty/sea song (39) RE: christmas shanty/sea song 12 Feb 07

There is one entitled "Christmas Shanty" by Ann Mathews, it is more of a forebitter than a shanty. The first verse and chorus, if my memory is correct, goes:

            Look lively lads, haul on those ropes
            At least we're homeward bound
            With a following wind, we have high hopes
            To be home before Christmas comes around.

            Chorus:
               Pray God to fill our sail with a favourable gale
               Give us fine fast running seas
               And we'll make it home for Christmas boys
               To our wives and our families.

                  GRex
