Subject: Whip Jamboree 2 From: Metchosin Date: 28 Nov 99 - 03:24 PM This version is a compilation of several heard over the years and a favorite due to the reference to "Lime Bay". The Mutiny take their name from a small bay located directly across the Harbour from Fisherman's Warf in Victoria, B.C.
Whip Jamboree 2
Well the pilot he looked out ahead
Chorus:
And now me boys be of good cheer
And when we get to the Blackwall docks
And then we'll walk down by Lime Bay As recorded by Lime Bay Mutiny, 1990. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Whip Jamboree 2 From: Micca Date: 28 Nov 99 - 08:12 PM The version of this that I learned in the 60s on a British merchant ship, while moving 40 gallon(British Gallons) drums using "Norwegian steam"( by hand) had the chorus Whup jamboree, Whup Jamboree with a long tailed black-man creeping up behind Whup jamboree, Whup Jamboree come and get your oats my son from the singing of Bert Grey of Shetland Incidentally the list of places listed in the two different versions I've heard list the lights passed on trip up the channel to London or up the Irish Sea to Liverpool. bert usually sang the Channel version Starting with Lands end and finishing in the penultimate verse with North Foreland at the Mouth of the Thames(or London River as it was always called by sailors). |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Whip Jamboree 2 From: Metchosin Date: 28 Nov 99 - 08:19 PM It's incredible the number of variations of this one shanty and I think they all should be on the DT if the variation is significant. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Whip Jamboree 2 From: Metchosin Date: 28 Nov 99 - 09:37 PM Its also interesting that some vesions have been cleaned up so as not to offend Victorian sensibilities and all references to a woman's vagina have been expunged. The refences in the newly posted version ie. Cape Clear would refer to the south coast of Ireland but I would be interested to know where Lime Bay is, any Irish Mudcatters out there? |
