"Down Our Street" is plenty fun. (On the Black Family "What a Time" album -- and "Now I have to Call Him Father" is also on that one. "Alabama John Cherokee" Is on the Black Family "Time for Touching Home" album.

IF you want a fabulous, heart-wrenching shantey that will stop 'em dead in their tracks (and maybe seriously p.o. some), do "The Last Leviathan" by Rory Block. It's sung from the viewpoint of the last of the great whales, who's just been hit with a harpoon.

KEVIN G -- Where could I hear "Holy Ground?"

This is a great thread -- I'm getting plenty of ideas as well.
