Thanks for the posts, guys!

Sledge, thanks for posting the lyrics. This is a song I've known about and have been singing for years so I didn't need the words but maybe someone else did.

Malcolm, the reference you cited may be what I vaguely remembered. It's also true that sometimes people call any song about the sea a shanty.

And Bruce, thanks for the reference. I love finding those old ballads, especially the longer ones.
