Diamond, the Gaoler Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Depending on whether yer lookin' for funny shanties, or serious ones, listen to The Bilge Pumps. They are great. I personally like The Dark Lady, or The Smuggler's Song. The Smuggler's Song, by the way, was written by Rudyard Kipling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhand Tug Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I am kind of partial to songs like the night paddy murphy died the mermaid whiskey before breakfast old maui, and of course : billy bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Richards from Kent Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Tis just a question of balance here. Is "hey nonni nonni" out of line then? Touch somebody you don't know today with a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hearted Pearl Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Personally, I like "pirates always get lucky on saturday night". But if yer looking for shanties and sea songs, a soul searcher is "leave her Johnny". ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind.

Cpt. Alva Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 South Australia is one of my all-time favorites...... my brother recently moved to NSW, from Ohio, and any time I hear the old sea dogs at camp sing it, it just makes me so happy! "Disobediant Monkeys will be shot, Disobediant Undead Monkeys will be shot repeatedly until morale improves" "They Says Cap'n Alva went funny in the head and turned to Cannibalism while marooned on a peninsula."- Overheard in a nearby camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Here are some of my favourite traditional songs associated with the sea: Sir Patrick Spens (Child Ballad #58) ... about a non-sailor who is given the "honour" of captaining one of the Scottish king's ships in the dead of winter William Glenn ... about a sinful sea captain who gets his just deserts Just as the Tide was Flowing ... a sailor's love song A-Roving ... a jaunty and mildly bawdy capstan shanty Bonny Ship the Diamond ... a slightly bawdy song about the whaling fleet that sailed out of the grim port of Peterhead on the northeast coast of Scotland, and their sweethearts left behind on the quay. [My own great-great-grandfather was a sailor who lived in that port in the early 19th century.] I'll try to add more to the list as songs come to my mind. Cheers, Hester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Two from the singing of the reclusive and inimitable Anne Briggs: Lowlands ... a haunting song about a young woman who dreams of the death at sea of her sailor lover (said to be a capstan shanty). Rosemary Lane ... a song about a young servant girl who has a fling with a sailor (Made famous by Bert Jansch, who was once Anne Brigg's lover, and who likely learned the song from her.) And a traditional song about a sea battle, newly arranged by Broadside Electric: The Royal Oak ... you can download the MP3 of their version [free and legal] from this page (2nd album on the page): http://www.broadside.org/music/merch/be.html Cheers, Hester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Another traditional song from Broadside Electric: When I was a Fair Maid ... about a young woman who cross-dresses to join the navy. And a traditional lament of lovers separated by the sea, collected by Andy M. Stewart from his mum: If I was a Blackbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 An English folksong called A Brisk Young Sailor ... in which the young woman singing the song is jilted for a wealthier girl The young British songstress Bill Jones does a great version: http://freespace.virgin.net/belinda.j/reviewttm.html However, I'm more familiar with the Irish version of the song, called I Know My Love ... in which it is not quite as clear that the young man is a sailor. Here's an MP3 of a bootleg recording of Eliza Carthy and Nancy Kerr doing a fabulous live version of the song in concert: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?acti...E8F256E4B603037 And you can find James Yorkston's gender-flipped version as a free demo on this page: http://www.jamesyorkston.co.uk/listen.htm Cheers, Hester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 A traditional broadside ballad, also popular in Newfoundland and parts of the States, and made famous by the late Canadian folksinger Stan Rogers: The Maid on the Shore ... about a young sea captain who gets his crew to abduct a pretty young woman that he sees on the shore. To his chagrin, she turns out to be a siren who sings the crew to sleep, steals all their treasure, then paddles back to shore using the captain's sword as an oar. Eliza Carthy does a musically grittier version on her album Rough Music. And another broadside ballad, The Pretty Ploughboy ... about a young woman whose parents call the press-gang to take her lover away to sea. She rescues him from the ship.
