Sea shanties were sung to a rhythm to help those strong sailors do their heavy work! My Great Grand-Mother in Victorian times, made butter in a butter churn in her dairy.Cream turns to butter quicker if the floor is uneven-this would have made a good beat for a song. I'm interested to know if there are any trad "women's work" songs sung by women to the rythm of a butter churn or any other rhymic chores ie milking cows, squishing the washing with a dolly, kneeding bread etc. Please no parodies. Oh and I apologise for shouting- I wouldn't like to turn your eyes red!
