So it's easy for young minds to learn, and you can leave out the verses that have sexual double entendre, if you want, though the true meanings would go right over kid's heads anyway. Shanties From The Seven Seas was an excellent suggestion, a few comments up from here. It's in there, as well as in the folksong database. |

My son heard this performed at the South Street Seaport as part of a Shanty Afternoon and came home talking about nothing else. This was when he was deep into rap. The song was "The Golden Vanity" and the story outraged him. He was about 12 at the time. |

01 Jun 00 - 11:39 AM (#236874) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sea shanties for kids? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) I've thought of teaching the Golden Vanity, but I think I'll wait till next year. I'm trying to end the year on an up-beat! Thanks to all of you who have made so many good suggestions. I'm especially glad to be reminded that the folk tradition lives on in shanties, and changing words around to suit my audience is fully in keeping with the tradition! I've found my Hugill book so I'm in business now! |

02 Jun 00 - 12:33 PM (#237443) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sea shanties for kids? From: Jon Freeman Should have thought of there myself Dave. For some reason your link takes you to error.html and gives and index to all categories. That is not a bad thing (I love the whole site) but let's try and se if this takes you directly to the Songs of the Sea Jon |
