Popping into a very old thread-
I recently joined a group called the Southport Shanty Crew, and we just sang last night at the Southport Historical Society. Southport used to be one of 3 major Menhaden fisheries in NC. We sang a shanty sung by former group The Soutport Shanty Singers for the same society back in the 90's called Sweet Roseyanna. Most of those guys are gone now but had actually been Menhaden fishermen, and one of their family members, Donnie Joyner, did part of the presentation before we sang. He specifically mentioned "Weldon" as a song that was raunchy and NSFW, which brought me here- I used to run a bawdy songs group. Lyrics found here so far don't seem to fit the bill- does anyone know any other verses?

If anyone is interested in finding out more about the Memhaden fishing industry, there was a really interesting local article recently:
