I went to grade school in Michigan where I learned my first shanty which also happened to be a drinking song:

I've been to Harlem, I've been to Dover, I've travelled this wide world all over, over, three times over. Drink what you have to drink and turn the glasses over.

Sailing east, sailing west, sailing over the ocean. You better watch out when the boat begins to rock or you'll lose you're girl in the ocean.

Does anyone know this? Does it have more verses?
