Subject: RE: Indian sea songs & chanteys/shanties
Here's a somewhat crude verse that I composed in the tradition of the old shantymen, to the tune of "The Sailor's Hornpipe":

We're rolling down to Old Bombay,
Yes, we're rolling down to Old Bombay;
Of the pox you needn't worry,
If you use a little curry,
And we're rolling down to Old Bombay!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
