REUBEN RANZO(I)
(From the singing of Richard Maitland)
(Doerflinger - songs of the Sailor and Lumberman - pp 23-24)

Oh, poor old Reuben Ranzo,
[Ranso boys, Ran-zo!]
Oh Ranzo was no sail-or
[Ranzo, boys, Ran-zo!]

But he was a Boston tailor,
He went on a visit to new Bedford.

He was shanghaied on a whaler
He could not do his duty.

So they put him to holystonnign,
they took him to the gangway,

They tied him on the grating,
and they gave him five and forty.

the captain's youngest daughter
begged her father for mercy.

the captain loved his daughter,
and he heeded her cries for mercy.

he put Ranzo in the cabin,
And taught him navigation.

Ranzo married his daughter,
And now he's skipper of a whaler,

and he's got a little Ranzo!
And he's got a little Ranzo!

COME DOWN, YOU BUNCH OF ROSES, COME DOWN
(preserved by Nathaniel Silsbee)
(Doerflinger - Songs of the Sailor and the Lumberman - p 22)

Oh, yes, my lads, we'll roll a-lee,
[come down, you bunch of roses, come down]
We'll soon be far a-way from sea,
[come down, you bunch of roses, come down]

Oh, you pinks and poses,
Come down, you bunch of roses, come down
Oh, you pinks and poses,
Come down, you bunch of roses, come down


Oh, what do yer s'pose we had for supper?
Black-eyed beans and bread and butter.

Oh Poll's in the garden picking peas.
she's got fine hair way down to ker knewws.

I went downstairs and peeked throug a crack
And saw her staling a kiss from Jack.

I grabbed right hold of a piece of plank
and ran out quick and gave her a spank.

THE THREE CROWS
(Doerflinger - 'Blow The Man Down - IV)

There were three crows sat on a tree,
(Way, hay, blow the man down,]
And they was black as black could be,
[Gimme some time to blow the man down!]

Says one old crow unto his mate,
where shall we go for somethin' to ate?

There is an old horse on yonder hill,
and there we can go and eat our fill.

There is an old horse on yonder m ound.
We'll light upon to his jsw-bone

Says one old crow unto the other,
we'll pick his eyes out one by one.

THE SAILOR'S GRACE
(Doerflinger - 'Blow the Man Down - V' - p 21)

Old Horse, Old horse, what brought you here,
[Way, hay, blow the man down,]
After ploughing the turf for many a year;
[Gimme some time to blow the man down!]

With kicks and cuffs and sad abuse,
We're salted down for sailor's use.

Between the mainmast and the pump,
We're salted down in great big hunks.

And when the mate comes from the rudder
He takes a piece of this old blubber.

POOR OLD MAN
(from the singing of Richard Maitland)
(Doerflinger - Songs of the Sailor and Lumberman - p 14)

As I walked out up-on the road one day,
[for they say so, and they know so,]
I saw 'n old man with a load of hay,
[Oh, poor old man!]

Says I, old man, your horse is lame,
Says I, Old man that horse will die

Now if he dies he'll be my loss
And if he lives he'll be my horse.

And if he dies I'll tan his skin
If he live I'll ride him again

Round Cape Horn through frost and snow,
Round Cape Horn I had to go.

Growl you may, but go you must
If you growl too loud your head they'll bust.

Handy high and handy low,
[Handy me boys, so handy]
Oh, it's handy haigh and away we'll go,
[Handy, me boys, so handy!]

You've got your advance and to sea you must go
A-round Cape Horn through frost and snow

Growl you may, but go you must.
Just growl too much and your head they'll bust

Now, up aloft from down below,
Up aloft that yard must go.

Now, one more pull and we'll show her clew!
Oh, we're the boys that'll put her thourgh,

With a bully ship and a bully crew,
And a bully Old Man to drive her through!

We're bound away around Cape Horn,
And we'll get there as sure as you're born!

Now one more pull and that will do!
Oh, We're the gang that'll shove her through.

Now, here we are at sea again;
Two months' advance we're up against.

We're the gang that can do it again!
Oh, we're the boys that'll do it once more.

JOHN DAMERAY
(learned at sea (1880's) by Nathaniel Silsbee)
(tune set from his singing by niece, Mrs. George C. Beach)
(Doerflinger:Songs of the Sailor and Lumberman - pp 7-8)



Aloft we all must go-oh,
[John come down the backstay]
In hail and frost and snow-oh,
[John come down the backstay,
John Dameray!]

John Dameray - John come down the backstay
John Dameray - John come down the backstay
John Demeray!
John Dameray - John come down the backstay
John Dameray - John come down the backstay
John Demeray!


My Ma she wrote to me,
"My son, come home from seas"

Got no manay and no clo'es
Am knocking out of doors.

My home I soo will be in,
And then we'll have some gin.

From sea I will keep clear,
And live by selling beer.


Doerflinger refers to this as a "fine deep-water tune".

Subject: Index: Songs of the Sailor and Lumberman
From: Joe Offer
Date: 06 Dec 00 - 12:39 AM

This is MMario's thread. He started it and did most of the work. I thought it might be a good idea to grace his thread with an index at the top.
Amazon says this book is still in print, and available in paperback for $19.95. I'll betcha it's available at the store at Mystic Seaport, and you could buy Stan Hugill's Shanties from the Seven Seas ($13.97 at Amazon) at the same time. Apparently, Amazon and Mystic they don't have Boxing the Compass, the renamed new edition of Roy Palmer's Oxford Book of Sea Songs.
