Lanfranco--

I know you asked for Andy Irvine's version. :)

But my 2 cents -- Keep open to creating your own. There is nothing special that I see about Irvine's *lyrics*, and the trick of the shanty game is to invent your own or pick and choose from the best.

Also (more unsolicited opinion) the "spend my money along with Sally Brown" is somewhat irksome because all evidence (there's plenty of it) indicates the traditional chorus was "spend my money ON Sally Brown." The "along with" lyric seems to be a bowdlerization to take the edge off of the reality of the singer's relationship with Sally Brown!...the "bright mulatter" that "chaws tobaccy" and sells rum.
