Need help identifying song

[hengishammer]

Anyone familiar with the theme from Popeye the cartoon? Well before the actual popeye the sailor man song starts, in the old cartoons, there was a small song part that played before the popeye song kicked in.

Does anyone know what that song is??? I'm pretty sure its a pirate song, or sea-faring song. If not, then its probably a folk tune of some sort.

I cant find a song clip to link what I'm talking about, nor do I have a title to what that first song is. All I know is that I have heard it in other places before as its own song.

I am involved in making a video game called Pirates, Vikings, and Knights, 2, which is a game that pits all 3 groups against one another. I need to identify what that song is because I want to use it for the pirate team as a song they use.

If anyone knows anything about this--it would be greatly appreciated.

Or perhaps a suggestion for a really upbeat pirate song that they would be fighting to.
