Great to see more sources for "Bully in the Alley."

Logging more of these chanteys...

Title: "Heave Away, Boys, Heave Away" -- 2 DIFFERENT CHANTEYS

Print: Hugill
Performers: Hugill w/ Stormalong John; The Shanty Crew

Notes:
There are two different chanteys, though with these same words for the chorus. Hugill seems to have been the first and only to print them. He learned chantey "A" from a Black sailor from St. Vincent, and chantey "B" from Harry Lauder of St. Lucia.

One interesting point is that both are supposedly halyard chanteys, yet they use the word "heave." Hugill opined that this indicated they had been used for cotton screwing. (However, in another thread, where we were brainstorming about the action of cotton screwing, I got the idea it was a pulling action??)

Stan Hugill recorded a chantey by this title, with Stormalong John backing, on 1989's A SALTY FORE TOPMAN. I've not heard it. Can anyone who has tell which chantey it is, A or B? The Shanty Crew has done version B (I'd ~guess~ that Hugill's recording is of the same?)

I recorded trial examples of each of these.
Heave Away. Boys -- "A"
Heave Away. Boys -- "B"
It would be great to hear about other renditions and sources.
