Harry O Lyr ADD: Santy Anno / Santy Ano / Santy Anna (32) RE: Looking for the lyrics to Santy Anno 02 Apr 99

Santiana - various spellings. A windlass shanty. One of three work-songs roped in bt whalemen to lighten their pulley hauling. The other two songs popular aboard the whalers were the halyard shanty "Ranzo" and the general-purpose shanty "We'll Ranzo Way". Strangely enough the whaling men don't sem to have produced any shanties of their own. For lyrics see "Shanties and Sailors' Songs" Stan Gugill, London 1969 Hope this is of help. Harry O
