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.
