Bold Riley is probably pretty safe, so is General Taylor (Unless we can't mention death to kids any more!). I think that the Keel Row is a sort of Chanty too!

Oh dear, which comes first, political correctness or history?

My daughter, while in pre-school was asked to stop singing at circle time. She started "Those Balitmore whores with purple drawers comes waltzing down the alley,,,, Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie" & was dicouraged from finishing. I told her there's nothing wrong with singing the song. Look at the data base in the DT enter @sailor into the search space & that'll bring you up more than you'll need. See you at Mystic. I'll keep a weather eye out for ya.
Happy Hunting

So in my current job as Education Officer on the tall ship Lady Washington, I get to work with school kids every day. In fact it says in my job description that I am to teach the kids a sea chantey. Only on problem with this, has to be rather child-safe, which knock out a number. The Job Manual has these songs listed, but to tell you the truth, I am getting REALLY tired of these songs and could use some suggestions:
John Kanakanaka
South Australia
Bully in the Alley
Sam's gone away
Essiquibo River
Nelson's Blood (Roll the old chariot along)
A long time ago
