I've just discovered the gorgeous music of this young contemporary folksinger, Alela Diane. Her song "The Pirate's Gospel" is fabulous:

I just found out about her last month, blinding voice cute too, wink.gif

Lambourne! Lambourne! Stop that man pissin' on the hedge, it's imported.

Hangin at Execution dock awaits. May yer Life be a long and joyous adventure in gettin there!
As he was about to face the gallows there, the pirate is said to have tossed a sheaf of papers into the crowd, taunting his audience with these final words:

"My treasure to he who can understand."

I have a large and varied collection of Chanties, Forebitt and Traditional music in recordings and repetior. A favorite is difficult to pick however the disission would have to be "A SAILOR'S PRAYER" by Rod Mac Donald. Not the Traditional tune known by Tom Lewis from the U.K. another great tune. This is a song writen by a dear friend of mine. Beside Rod the song had been recorded by Gordon Bok and now several bands that do Ren Fest though I don't get the connection, Rod get's his royalties. I have found it on YouTube but I'm a bit of a techno Dullard and couldn't get it posted here. It's done by Rod, some Ren Fest Group, some group in a noisy pub and an Irish Trio that do it justice.
