Thread Name: Origins/Add Versions Shallow Brown
Subject: RE: Shalo Brown
Words to most verses posted here are from other shanties, which was the norm. Any shanty could be sung if it was of the single line Verse-Refrain-Verse-Refrain pattern.
My preference is for Challow Brown, when singing the slow, mournfull version, and for the faster, up tempo tune I use:-
Shallow, shallow, in the mornin'
Shallow, oh shallow Brown
Shallow as the day is dawnin'
Shallow, oh shallow Brown.
