shipcmo Lyr ADD: The Shanghaied Dredger (Edward Hammond) (46) RE: Lyr Req: The Shanghaied Dredger 13 Jul 10


Tom Wisner also recorded this. Interestingly, one would not lie in the bunks(in the forepeak)of those old Chesapeake boats with one's head forward. The song originally, according to Tom, had their feet towards Baltimore. And it was cornbread (maybe cornpone)rather than corndog. Cannot remember the other rations, but not sowbelly. Getting paid off by the boom really happened!

Cheers,

Cap Geo
