Charley Noble	Shanty or Chantey? (197* d)	RE: Shanty or Chantey?	04 Sep 17
The earliest reference I can find to a chaneyman is from the French children's book Chanticleer. The first verse and chorus runs: Chanticleer, the Shanghaied Rooster Dm---F---------------Dm---------C------Dm Good friends, draw near, I've a tale to tell, -------F-------Dm----------F----C-Dm Of a rooster bold called Chan-ti-cleer; --------------F---------C---F---Dm Who sailed upon the o-cean blue, ----------F---Dm-----------C--Dm Return-ing home with ri-ches rare. Chorus: Dm----F-----------Dm------C---------Dm Crow high, crow low, and so sailed he, Dm-------F------------------Dm---C-----Dm Cock-a-doddle-do, as the wind blows free, Dm----------F----------------C---Dm Crow high, crow low, and so sailed he, --------------F--------------Dm--C--Dm Bold Chan-ti-cleer who sailed the sea! Stick that in your crop and crunch it! Cheerily, Charley Noble
