Here here, Barry! Who won the shantey bellering contest in Tacoma this summer? None other than Andrea Aldridge! What an alto!

Here are my few to look up:

Alabama John Cherokee (pumping shantey)
The Handsome Cabin Boy (disguised as a sailor, she gets preggers)
The Maid on the Shore (robs the captain, rows to shore)
Paddy West (teacher of greenhorn sailors whose philosiphy is let's not and say we did)
Do Me Amma (Jack tar ends up in bed with a squire's lady, she decided to keep him)
The Jolly Roving Tar (When your money's gone it's the same old song....)
All For Me Grog (drinking song from head to toe)
Liverpool Judies (shanghaied!)

Oh, I suppose you have enough. Do let us all know how you do!
