Thread Name: Jolly Mariner & Crew (Canal Shanties)
Subject: RE: Jolly Mariner & Crew
A new participant to the Facebook announcement page is redirected to this thread to start his search for Canal Shanties. (We don't research lyrics or people on FB, just announce events and share photos and videos that can't display on Mudcat.)

His question:
Canal shanties. They exist, but finding their lyrics isn’t proving easy. The ones I’m seeking are those which were historically used on the inland waterways of the UK, not the USA. I’ve heard one indistinct verse of Dead Horse that was used on canal boats, but no lyrics. Any clues?
