Just finished one, actually it's a parody rewrite of the parody Salonika. Salonika's about two wifes, one a slacker's wife the other a soldier's wife. They're insulting each other on behalf/benifit of their husbands. I reworked it cause even as the original it would make a great sea song but thought it would make a better sea song if the words were "salted up" a bit.

Sorry George, I know you're not fond of the song Salonika, maybe this verion will taste a little better after it's been Greeced & Salted.

Salonika Parody (tune: Salonika, new words by Barry Finn)

My husband's he a whaler, he sails the seven seas
I wonder while he's whaling, does he ever think of me

Chorus:
So haul away, so haul away
So haul away me sailor, haul away me sailor boy

Your husband he's a whaler, when he gets home you'll soon be dead
I wonder if he knows he's got a kid whose hair is red

Go off & picnic with your tailors, they just lays you on the grass
Then they put you in the family way & leaves you on your ass

Oh when his whaling's done, what will your sailor do
He'll be a few fingers fewer & a little light handed too

You've a sailor in the bedroom, one in the parlor too
There's another in the kitchen and they don't get paid as well as you

When his voyage it is over, what will the tailors do
They'll all be around the whaler bumming a buck or two

Now that your tailor's gone off to sea, tell me what ya gonna do
When the next ship hits the pierside, I'll find you a mate or two
