New York Girls

As I walked down the Broadway

One evening in July

I met a maid who asked me trade

And a sailor John says I

Chorus

And away, you Santee

My Dear Annie

Oh, you New York girls

can't you dance the polka?

To Tiffany's I took her

I did not mind expense

I bought her two gold earrings

And they cost me fifteen cents

Says she, 'You Limejuice sailor

Now see me home you may'

But when we reached her cottage door

She this to me did say

My flash man he's a Yankee

With his hair cut short behind

He wears a pair of long sea-boots

And he sails in the Blackball Line

He's homeward bound this evening

And with me he will stay

So get a move on, sailor-boy

Get cracking on your way

So I kissed her hard and proper

Afore her flash man came

And fare ye well, me Bowery gal

I know your little game

I wrapped me glad rags round me

And to the docks did steer

I'll never court another maid

I'll stick to rum and beer

I joined a Yankee blood-boat

And sailed away next morn

Don't ever fool around with gals

You're safer off Cape Horn

Shoots anything that moves!!

Negro Pirate, go to Amazon and you'll find tons of great shanty cds to buy. I recommend two in particular:

Round Cape Horn

Blow The Man Down

Those are the album names, search under classical I think. Or Folk. You should be able to listen to clips on the album's page.

Sorry mate... we be sea-pirates in these here waters, not CD pirates...

Touche'

Ship's Marksman & Crab Fiend

Pyrates of the Coast

"All the skill in the world goes out the window if an angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."

"Florida points like a guiding thumb, To the southern isles of rumba and rum, To the mystery cities and haunted seas, Of the Spanish Main and the Caribbees..."

Try www.chivalry.com/cantaria. They've got a lot of old songs on mp3 and wav format. Quite a few either are or could be used as sea shanties.

Coastie ;)

She was bigger and faster when under full sail

With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
