From another thread- Charles Nordhoff, in "The Merchant Vessel," variously titled inc. "Seeing the World," about voyages taken ca. 1850, was the first to describe the "chants," led by a "Chantingman," the chanteys, which now are mostly called shanties. "Old Stormy" and a version of "Bound Away" are the two that he quotes.

Douglas Morgan, "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor," Unexpurgated Sea Chanties, is available in paperback. A few real chanteys, some moldy college songs-

Haul Away, Joe

When I was a little boy,
Or so my mother told me,
Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
That if I did not fuck the girls
My prick would go all mouldy.
Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
(Five verses and chorus; also Haul Away, Rosie)
