Not a bad harvest considering the challenge!
Dead Horse-
"Darby Ram": a shanty?
"Donkey Riding": a fine traditional shanty
"Ol' Moke": "moke" IS slang for a mule but I suspect the reference is to a black man playing on the banjo
"Hog Eye": a bit of a stretch
"Wild Goose Shanty": well, sure, why not?
Mary- good catch on "Wild Rover"!
Fogie- you certainly deserve major credit for cotributing a traditional sea song featuring 1800 sheep on the deep! Wow! Any clue to the tune?
Ship'scat- Never knew that "The Wild West Show" ever made it out to sea.
I expected someone to mention Lyle Lovett's song about "the pony in the boat"
Cheerily,
Charley Noble
