From the NOTES
   P. 328. Cawsand Bay. Version supplied by Sir J. K. Laughton, who writes: 'It was brought into vouge about fifty years ago by a dear friend and brother officer of mine, Richard Creagh Saunders, then Naval Instructor of the Marlborough, the flagship of the Mediterranean. He was a man of poetic feeling, with a pretty turn for versifying, and a good knowledge of music, though no voice to speak of. The account he gave menof it is this: He was staying in the country with an old messmate – I don't think he mentioned the name – who one day gve him some old journals, scrapbooks, &c., to look through; and among them he found this song, which he copied there and then. Of its origin there was no trace. I more than half suspect that he was himself the author of it. The tune to which he always sang it, and which his successors have of course followed, is, he said, an adaptation of an air in Don Giovanni.'

I obtained this book through interlibrary loan and now have a photocopy of it. Terry was from Northumberland, and this collection contains 10 songs from that region; he states in his introduction: "I have obtained them either aboard ship or from the mouths of seamen ashore."

For those 'Catters who might travel to Mystic, CT, for the 31st annual Sea Music Festival, I'll be presenting a paper at the Sea Music Symposium on Friday, June 11, tracing the history of one of the songs in Terry's book.

Hi JWB, I dont suppose you could tell me if your version of the version of The Lion man-o'-war in the book has more than 2 verses? I only have two and would be interested to know if there is a third

Cheers

Guest Sam,

In Terry's Salt Sea Ballads the song "The Lion man-o'-war" has 6 verses. They are a variant of the song I know as "Warlike Seamen", which is in the Copper Family's repertoire. The melody Terry gives is not very close to the Coopers's tune.

Here's Terry's version:

We hadn't sailed twenty or thirty miles from shore,
Before we spied a large ship and down on us she bore.
She hailèd us in French, my boys, and askèd whence we came.
"We've just come round from Plymouth Sound, and the Lion is our name."

"Are you the Lion man-o'-war, as we suppose you be?"
"We are the Lion man-o'-war as you shall quickly see."
"Then haul your colours from the mast and come along with me,
Or we'll sink the Lion man-o'-war to the bottom of the sea."

Then up and spoke our captain and unto us did say
"Cheer up, cheer up, my merry men, we'll show them British play;
If this had been mine own brothèr the battle should have been tried;
Let every man stand true to his gun, and we'll give them a broadside."

The broadside was given, my boys, which made them all to wonder,
To see their fore-to'-gallant mast come bowling down like thunder.
We beat them from their quarters, no longer could they stay,
And the red hot shot poured in so hot, as we showed them British play.

"Oh now I plainly see you are a vessel of renown;
My ports are all knocked into one and I'll haul my colours down,
And my good sword I'll give to you, and we must go ashore,
And in the prison we will stay, and go to France no more."

So this large ship was taken, in Plymouth Sound 'twas moored;
We drank success and liberty to all that live on shore,
And hauling down the French colours, to hoist the red, white and blue,
We'll drink success unto the Lion and all her jolly crew.

Here is an excerpt from Terry's notes to The Lion Man-o'-war:

"A version of the words appears in Firth's Naval Songs and Ballads. The melody and two verses are quoted in L.A. Smith's The Music of the Waters. I do not think it has appeared in print before, with words and music complete."

Another classic for any armchair sailor would be THE MUSIC OF THE WATERS: a Collection of the Sailors Chanties, or Working Songs of the Sea, of All Maritime Nations, by Laura A. Smith, Kegan Paul, Trench & Co., London, UK, © 1888.

My copy cost $50 but it's well worth the price as the earliest comprehensive study of traditional sea songs.

I have my hands on a copy of Davis & Tozer that I believe is probably the same version Q posted at the top of this thread. It is the "Revised Edition," not the Third. I believe it (or at least the one I have) can be dated to around 1927 -- unless it is a reprint of that edition. Some of the interesting things are that W.K. Hill, in his preface, makes reference to "the lover of folk music" and to "folk songs." I don't know for sure, but that doesn't sound to me like 1906 talk. And he says "As long ago as the year 1887..." in reference to the first edition. That sounds too distant a past for 1906. He says that aircraft was only a dream back then, but that now there is a "conquest of the air" -- which suggest tome after WWI.

The back of the book has ads for other publications. (Again, I suppose this could be a reprint, so, FWIW:) One add is for Sampson's _Seven Seas Shanty Book_ which came out in 1927. Also an ad for Davis & Tozer's own book, with a note that the original had appeared almost 40 years earlier.

Ads for other musical arrangements of chanties, too, always with the redundant phrase "sea shanties" that one imagines had become popular by that time as they were adopted as "folk" music.

Gibb, belated agreement that your D & T must be from '27, not '06, for most all the reasons you give.

It's also useful to see the publisher explicitly dating the first edition to 1887. When it appeared it was undated, and though 1887 was always the most likely date, this confirms it.

Acc. to WorldCat, ed. 1 has 48pp., ed. 2, 78pp., ed. 3, 95pp., and the "Revised Edition," 97pp.

There are a few collections/articles about chanties from the early 20th century that I'd like to review, but have not yet obtained. Would anyone like to share information about the contents of the following?:

1. 1904        Bradford, John and Arthur Fagge. _Old Sea Chanties._ London: Metzler & Co.

A small collection of just 17 pages. I believe it contains at least the following chanties, which were recorded ca. 1905 by the Minster Singers (see the thread on "Earliest Commercial Shanty Recordings"):

"Blow, My Bully Boys"
"Sally Brown"
"Whisky Johnny"
"Shenandoah"
"Rio Grande"
"Blow the Man Down."

I believe this was the first collection BTW to use the somewhat awkward phrase "sea chanties."

2. 1905 ??. "Some deep sea chanties." _Saturday Evening Post_ (2 Sept 1905).

3. 1905 ??. (Article on chanties). _Manchester Guardian_ (16 Aug. 1905).

4. 1906        Bernard, D.H. "Sea Songs and Chanties." _The Nautical Magazine_ 75.

5. 1909        Williams, J.H. "The Sailors' 'Chanties'." _The Independent_ (8 July 1909):76-83.

6. 1915        Derby, Thomas. "Sailors' Chanties or Working Songs of the Sea." _Manchester Quarterly_ 34: 285-302.

7. 1917        Brown, R. Curtis. "Sailors' Shanties." _The Nautical Magazine_ 97: 294-9.

I believe some of the above articles had their chanties harvested by authors of the better-known collections, so it would be instructive to see them.

Does anyone here know the exact contents of the 2nd edition of Davis and Tozer's collection?

We know the contents of the first edition, and of the third (added 10 more to the 2nd) and the "Revised" (added an alternate piano arrangement for "A Roving").

If no one knows, then I am going to do some text analysis and try to figure it out.

My interest is in knowing what versions of the text would have been available to other authors at various times. The writer Lubbock, for example, borrows some chanties (without credit, I believe) from Davis/Tozer for his 1902 book. Those chanties were not in D/T's first edition, and if the 3rd did not come out until 1906, they must have been in the 2nd edition. That D/T took the chanties from Lubbock is unlikely, I think.

I hope is that in nailing down the form of the 2nd edition, we can see the direction of influence easier. Especially since D/T tended to rewrite all the texts they collected, thereby obscuring their origins.

D/T was hugely influential on other writers of the time. And other writers repeating the same texts seems to have created a false consensus that their lyrics were authentic. I think that Stan Hugill was later "fooled" by this false consensus, and in adopting these lyrics into his own collection, they have received yet another stamp of authenticity.

King's Book of Chanties, Oliver Dotson Co. (1918) is mentioned above, but it doesn't look like anyone's transcribed the index, so here it is, from my copy. I should say that this is just a small pamphlet, and although the titles of these chanteys are familiar, many of the verses are quite different from those currently sung (at least around here - grin). I've kept King's spellings.

I'm looking to see what Sampson's (1927 Seven Seas Shanty Book) melody/music is for the chanty "Lowlands (Away)". The book seems rather rare in the States; I've only gotten a glimpse into the contents through the kindness of postings by other Mudcatters. However, I've still not seen the melody. Anyone able to help out? Thank you all.

Q listed the contents of W.B. Whall's "Sea Songs and Shanties" above.

eBay has a copy of the 1920 edition (stated as "first edition", but the book first appeared in 1910).

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sea-Songs-and-Shanties-W-B-Whall-1920-First-Edition-/110926697773?pt=Non_Fiction&hash=item19d3bf152d

Not bad if you got it for the starting price (£15). But the book is still in print, available from the original publishers, now known as Brown, Son & Ferguson (Glasgow) at £9.95. (£12.15 inc UK post, £14.81 overseas).

http://www.skipper.co.uk/catalogue/item/sea-songs-and-shanties

I have linked to Brown, Son & Ferguson's website in the Merchant Navy Songs Permathread. No other shanty books in their catalogue, but an incredible variety of books on Maritime subjects from the days of sail right up to technical manuals of the modern era. "Sea Songs and Shanties" is in the Story of the Sea section of the catalogue.

Can anyone, who has seen it, comment on the work _Shanties_ by George Marston and Doris Allen (H. Horsnell & H. Roberts, 1921)? It is not available in my area, and I would be pleased to know its contents.

It appears to be only 14 pages long, and I am guessing that it is a sort of songbook with tunes and lyrics for performance.

A review of Marston's _Shanties_, in Music & Letters (april 1922), is simple and blunt. The review asks what the point is to print a dozen of the best known shanties when there were already existing a half-dozen collections full of dozens of shanties.

Ah yes, but what little gems does it hold, like the "Swing yo' tail" (current thread) fragment?
