Are we talking "Shanties" or just some songs of pirates? A sea shanty (chanty) is songs that the sailors used for different types of jobs. Some shanties are a long drag or a short drag. Just a suggestion, but maybe the title should be changed since a couple of the titles are not true "shanties".

aye, thow art true, meh, that would require effort, too much effort, well not really, but too much effort for what I can spare at this moment. But thow art true mate.

Hard question. With so many great chanteys t' choose from, hmm. I'd have t' say Sally Racket is up near the top o' the list:

Little Sally Racket

haul 'em away

She shipped aboard a packet

haul 'em away

An' she never did regret it

haul 'em away

T'me haulee high-o, haul 'em away

Little Kitty Taylor

Said she'd never touch a sailor

Til she was harpooned by a whaler

Little Kitty Carson

She slept with the parson

Now she's got a little bo'sun

Little Nancy Riddle

She broke 'er brand new fiddle

Got a hole right up the middle

Little Sally Skinner

She says she's a beginner

Prefers it to 'er dinner.

Little Nancy Tucket

She washes in a bucket

She's a whore but she don't look it.

Little Sally Racket

She stole my brand new jacket

And then she pawned the ticket.
