Taking a break from L.A. Smith for a few other notes.

Geo--

Thanks for the song list from "Around Cape Horn to Honolulu..."! Does it give lyrics and/or tunes? And are all of them meant to be shanties/work-songs? Any clue to how or when they were used?

What is "As I Was A Walking Up Dennison Street"? "Blow the Man Down"?

What's the difference between "Ranzo" and "Orenso"?

Lighter--

Boo-yah! You've been holding out!
Thanks too for the idea of "Blow *A* Man Down." That phrase seems to get a lot more earlier hits on searches...and it would make sense if, presumably, related to "Knock a Man Down" and before, possibly, "THE" became the standard.
