A song that captures the life of a sailor or fisher? Just collecting some ideas for my lyrics website on popular eastern Canada songs... but I have ran out of ideas! |

27 May 02 - 02:27 PM (#718215) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Clinton Hammond I'm a fan of "The Last Shanty" by Tom Lewis... And according to the CBC, Canadas most popular acapella song of the sea is "Frobisher Bay" by Tamarack... Do ya know the song "Lament for the Landlocked Whale"? Damn fine piece of song...

27 May 02 - 03:39 PM (#718280) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: GUEST,Weasle There are so many great sea shanty's and ballards, most of which I came across as part of a male voice "Fishermans Chior" while a ex-pat in the middle East many years ago. Like Heart of Oak; The Greenland Whale Fisheries and Shoals of Herring (the latter by Erin MacColl), but my favorite has to be Three Score and Ten, telling of the loss of so many fishermen from Grimsby and the East coast of England following the great storm of 1800 and something |

For sea shanties, give me anything that gets the audience stamping feet and joining in. "Rio Grande" or "South Australia" seems to work well, or "The Alabama", if the wind's in the right direction. |

27 May 02 - 07:58 PM (#718430) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Herga Kitty Sea shanties used to have a rhythm appropriate to the work being undertaken while they were sung. Then the "slowing down to lethargy" effect took over ... (I once sang "Lowlands away" at the English National Festival in the company of Stan Hugill and he said it was OK until I slowed down on the last line). But on the other hand, John Prentice does an interestingly slow and haunting version of "The leaving of Liverpool" |

28 May 02 - 09:33 AM (#718729) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Rich_and_Dee For ending a long shanty singalong, "Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her" always has a haunting effect on me. "Rolling Down to Old Maui" is a wonderful song to sing as you're lowering your sails and stearing into harbor. Almost any sea song conjures images of home, love, endurance, courage, lonliness. As a newer song, "The Bergen" by Jez Lowe is a wonderfully crafted song and melody. Rich |

28 May 02 - 02:20 PM (#718905) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: GUEST,Just Amy Ah, this is how I got into folk music. I love sea shanties and sea songs. My favorites to sing are "Rollin' down to Old Maui" and "South Australia." Last year I heard an Aussie group sing the latter and the tune had migrated to something different that the US version. Very interesting. There is a song about the black hills of eastern Canada (Nova Scotia?), but I can't think of it now and haven't heard it in years. I really like Pint & Dale from Washington state. They sing sea songs and shanties. He plays mandolin & she plays hurdy-gurdy. |

28 May 02 - 02:34 PM (#718918) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Melani I have to say "The Wild Goose Chantey" is right up there. As for Pint and Dale, my other favorites include anything on their album "Port of Dreams." |

28 May 02 - 04:50 PM (#719012) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Weasle Thanks for the support Clinton, I thought I made a complete gaff on my first post, (being a virgin Mudcat as it were) and considered impaling myself on a garden stake in shame, not knowing the diference between a shanty and a sea song. Would I ever be able to show my face in public again I thought, would I be given the Ethnic minority coloured spherical object by other Mudcatters? I offer my humblest and most profuse appologies to Skipper for my error in judgement(Have I grovelled enough yet?) I agree also that Leave Her Johnny is a great song (shanty) to depart on, as is Lowlands (Is this a shanty?) |

28 May 02 - 09:12 PM (#719147) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Jon Bartlett It's curious that the most enjoyable shanties to sing are not necessarily the most interesting to listen to. My favourite to sing these days is Yankee Ship ("A Yankee ship came down the river/Shallow, O Shallow Brown/A Yankee ship in the Congo River/Shallow O Shallow Brown"). The tune is, I'm told by my SO, a dreary one to listen to but there's a shift between the two couplets which get me every time. I find I can't listen to much of the new sea stuff I hear because of its overwhelming sentimentality, a characteristic entirely missing from the traditional pieces. The shanties which seemed to work best on the shantysinging on board WAWONA at Seattle Folklife last weekend were the Caribbean ones (such as John Cherokee and Run Come See). |

28 May 02 - 11:17 PM (#719213) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Peter Kasin Favorite chantey (currently, as favorites change) the Welsh capstan chantey "Hob Y Deri Dando."

A chantey is call and response, similar in style and often in content to 'field hollers.' Their purpose is to provide rhythm to coordinate work. I happen to love both. For an interesting experience, try John Kanaka as a rowing chantey and see what it does to your presentation. See you at Mystic. |

02 Jun 02 - 03:29 AM (#721468) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: Peter Kasin I should add that it was probably originally a shore folksong, later adapted by sailors for shipboard work at the capstan. |

The Baggies, however use the words from another capstan shanty "Mochyn Du" (Black Pig) to the tune of Hob Y Derri Dando. The Mochyn Du version has the chorus:- "Wuz you ever saw?" Or "Did you ever see, Did you ever see, did you ever see, such a funny thing before?" You can find a couple of versions of Hob Y Derri Dando in Stan Hugill's book, "Shanties From The Seven Seas."

02 Jun 02 - 08:03 PM (#721838) Subject: RE: What your favorite sea shanty? From: curmudgeon Dave -- Little Sally Racket is not obscene, unless you have a dirty mind or think like a sailor. Part of the enduring charm of the shanties and forebitters was their use of hints and innuendoes(sp?; it's very tired out right now). Jack was always aware that a gentleperson might be in earshot of a song and thus couched meanings in words only understood by shipmates and Judies. Skipper Jack -- the refrain you cite is the same as Cosher Bailey, a Welsh song about a railroad. |

Wake up, Susiana, wake up! We've both been sound asleep – Umph! Wake up, Susiana, and weep – Umph! Blue Peter's flying, there's no denying, We're in trouble deep! Wake up, Susiana! – Umph!
