Charity Sweetlove Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 *faints at the concept of using "Barley Mow" as something to do labor by.* heh, by the 4th verse that ship would by flying over the ocean.

Trapper Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I'd suggest the following, available from various sites, including www.pintndale.com (check out the songs page), or Stan Hughill's "Songs of the Seven Seas". If you want CDs, try Pint and Dale, Broadside or Victory Sings at Sea. South Australia Bully in the Alley Cheerily Man Bring 'em Down Yellow Girls Eagle Alley Highland Laddie Fire Marengo If you want the lyrics to any of the above, let me know and I'll email 'em to ye.

Trapper Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Oh, and as a by the way, I've posted two from my band's cd in the mp3 section to be downloaded: Boozin' and Roseabella. Feel free to download an' sing t' yer heart's content. Trapper Captain of the Tinker's Damn
Coastie04 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Another good internet source for sea shanties is www.chivalry.com/cantaria They've got a selection of folk music, including sea shanties. Many of the songs have a full version of the lyrics, but all have at least a couple of verses sung. Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
Iron Jack Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 How 'bout: Donkey Riding Really simple "stowing cargo" or "hauling" song, so it would be pretty easy to sing while working m'thinks (almost has that USMC marching cadence). I believe the "donkey" referred to is either; an engine, . . . or the sailor's straw-filled mattress (which would be pretty humorous). That one is on Chivalry with a midi to boot. And let's not forget: The Derelict (Fifteen Men) Bloodthirsty little number, and an easy one to work to, if'n someone can remember all of the verses. It's not actually a shanty, but a Broadway "showtune" dating from 1901. Oh well! Still a must fer any self-respectin' pirate crew, in me 'umble opinion. "Yo, ho , ho, and a bottle 'o Rum," . . . indeed. Iron Jack: Scourge 'o the Shores! Some mornings, it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips Damfino!

Evil Tiny Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Another source that I plunder fer lyrics and the basic tune be: http://www.contemplator.com/sea/index.html An we change as we sees fit ta fit the crew o' F. M. O. S. Evil Tiny I'm not really evil...oh wait...yes I am! Discipline is on the severe side of harsh, and I likes it that way.
Cinnabar Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 He may not have been a pirate, but don't forget "Reuben Ranzo". Regards, Cinnabar
Kon-Tiki Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 How come nobody's mentioned this one yet? 99 Bottles of beer on the wall Edit: Sorry 'bout that. Edited it out. Got such moments from time to time
Desert Pyrate Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Kon-tiki, that was a mite annoying... Anyway, you can't do wrong if you check out .Roast Beef of Old England. Truly a fine CD of authentic sailor songs from the Napoleonic war. It's in my car right now!
Captain Barbossa Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Aye, Desert Pyrate! Hey Tiki mate, what the hell ye be on? I see in yer profile yer a youngin', so had a mite too much sugar did ye?
