Here's a nice version from Helen Schneyer's What a Singing There Will Be:


Shallo Brown
Traditional

I am goin'for to leave you
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown
I am goin'for to leave you
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown

I am goin''cross the ocean
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown
I am goin''cross the ocean
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown

How I love you, Julianna
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown
Love you well, Julianna
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown

My master's goin' to sell me
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown
My master's goin' to sell me
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown

He will ship me on a whaler
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown
He will send me by a whaler
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown

He will sell me to a Yankee
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown
For that great big Spanish dollar
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown

Julianna, Julianna
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown
Julianna, Julianna, Julianna
Shallo, oh Shallo Brown


Helen's notes: Don't remember from whom I learned this.
It in not a work shanty but a fo'c's'le song.
There is a brisker version for raising anchor.
