Thanks for those additions, Charlie. I've enjoyed Barry's renditions of both of them and always have appreciated his historical awareness as well as his singing.

I want to add a few more suggestions to my list of shanties that have *possibly* been influenced by Black culture:

"Larry Marr"
"The Sailor Fireman" - a riverboat version of "Fire Down Below" Hugill, p. 115
"Lower The Boat Down"   from Colcord
"Billy Riley"
"Heave Away" from Sandburg
"Paddy Lay Back"/"Mainsail Haul"
"Walk Me Along, Johnny"

And, I want to offer this link from Gibb Sahib that has all of the West Indian related shanties from Hugill:

There will be some overlap of the West Indian shanties with my lists. And here are a couple of additions to Gibb's list of West Indian related shanties:

"So Early In The Morning" - Hugill's (c), p. 57/'61
"A Long Time Ago" / "Johnny Jernan' wuz a Portugee man" from Hugill, p. 103/'61
"Hilo, Johnny Brown" from Hugill, p. 254/'61
"Walkalong, Miss Susianna Brown" Hugill, p. 391-392/'61
