Subject: RE: Sailors' Songs or Chanties- Index
My complete photocopy of Davis & Tozer's First Ed. (London: Boosey & Co., [1886]) contains only 24 songs.

1. Sally Brown
2. Away for Rio
3. We're All Bound to Go
4. The Wide Missouri
5. Leave Her, Johnnie
6. Can't You Dance a Polka?
7. The Black Ball Line
8. Hoodah Day
9. Homeward Bound
10. Whiskey for My Johnnie
11. Reuben Ranzo
12. Blow Boys, Blow
13. Blow the Man Down
14. Tom's Gone to Ilo
15. Hanging Johnnie
16. Haul Away Jo'
17. Haul the Bowlin'
18. Paddy Doyle's Boots
19. A-Roving
20. Storm Along
21. Mobile Bay
22. Salt Horse
23. The Dead Horse
24. Eight Bells

The songs are not grouped into categories as in Q's copy, which must be of the Third Edition (1906). Writers for some reason (possibly wishful thinking) have commonly misdated this very much expanded edition to "ca1888."
