+FOREWORD
+
+By SIR WALTER RUNCIMAN
+
+
+It is sometimes difficult for old sailors like myself to realize that
+these fine shanty tunes--so fascinating to the musician, and which no
+sailor can hear without emotion--died out with the sailing vessel, and
+now belong to a chapter of maritime history that is definitely closed.
+They will never more be heard on the face of the waters, but it is
+well that they should be preserved with reverent care, as befits a
+legacy from the generation of seamen that came to an end with the
+stately vessels they manned with such skill and resource.
+
+In speech, the old-time 'shellback' was notoriously reticent--almost
+inarticulate; but in song he found self-expression, and all the
+romance and poetry of the sea are breathed into his shanties, where
+simple childlike sentimentality alternates with the Rabelaisian humour
+of the grown man. Whatever landsmen may think about shanty words--with
+their cheerful inconsequence, or light-hearted coarseness--there can
+be no two opinions about the tunes, which, as folk-music, are a
+national asset.
+
+I know, of course, that several shanty collections are in the market,
+but as a sailor I am bound to say that only one--Capt. W.B. Whall's
+'Sea Songs, Ships, and Shanties'--can be regarded as authoritative.
+Only a portion of Capt. Whall's delightful book is devoted to
+shanties, of which he prints the melodies only (without
+accompaniment); and of these he does not profess to give more than
+those he himself learnt at sea. I am glad, therefore, to welcome
+Messrs. Curwen's project of a wide and representative collection. Dr.
+Terry's qualifications as editor are exceptional, since he was reared
+in an environment of nineteenth-century seamen, and is the only
+landsman I have met who is able to render shanties as the old seamen
+did. I am not musician enough to criticize his pianoforte
+accompaniments, but I can vouch for the authenticity of the _melodies_
+as he presents them, untampered with in any way.

+INTRODUCTION
+
+
+APOLOGIA
+
+It may reasonably be asked by what authority a mere landsman publishes
+a book on a nautical subject. I may, therefore, plead in extenuation
+that I have all my life been closely connected with seafaring matters,
+especially during childhood and youth, and have literally 'grown up
+with' shanties. My maternal ancestors followed the sea as far back as
+the family history can be traced, and sailor uncles and grand-uncles
+have sung shanties to me from my childhood upwards. During boyhood I
+was constantly about amongst ships, and had learnt at first hand all
+the popular shanties before any collection of them appeared in print.
+I have in later years collected them from all manner of sailors,
+chiefly at Northumbrian sources. I have collated these later versions
+with those which I learnt at first hand as a boy from sailor
+relatives, and also aboard ship. And lastly, I lived for some years in
+the West Indies, one of the few remaining spots where shanties may
+still be heard, where my chief recreation was cruising round the
+islands in my little ketch. In addition to hearing them in West Indian
+seaports, aboard Yankee sailing ships and sugar droghers, I also heard
+them sung constantly on shore in Antigua under rather curious
+conditions. West Indian negro shanties are movable wooden huts, and
+when a family wishes to change its _venue_ it does so in the following
+manner: The shanty is levered up on to a low platform on wheels, to
+which two very long ropes are attached. The ropes are manned by as
+many hands as their length will admit. A 'shantyman' mounts the roof
+of the hut and sits astride it. He sings a song which has a chorus,
+and is an exact musical parallel of a seaman's 'pull-and-haul' shanty.
+The crowd below sings the chorus, giving a pull on the rope at the
+required points in the music, just as sailors did when hauling at sea.
+Each pull on the rope draws the hut a short distance forward, and the
+process is continued till its final resting-place is reached, when the
+shantyman descends from the roof. The hut is then levered off the
+platform on to _terra firma_ and fixed in its required position.
+
+
+WHAT A SHANTY IS
+
+Shanties were labour songs sung by sailors of the merchant service
+only while at work, and never by way of recreation. Moreover--at
+least, in the nineteenth century--they were never used aboard
+men-o'-war, where all orders were carried out in silence to the pipe
+of the bo'sun's whistle.
+
+Before the days of factories and machinery, all forms of work were
+literally _manual_ labour, and all the world over the labourer,
+obeying a primitive instinct, sang at his toil: the harvester with his
+sickle, the weaver at the loom, the spinner at the wheel. Long after
+machinery had driven the labour-song from the land it survived at sea
+in the form of shanties, since all work aboard a sailing vessel was
+performed by hand.
+
+The advent of screw steamers sounded the death-knell of the shanty.
+Aboard the steamer there were practically no sails to be manipulated;
+the donkey-engine and steam winch supplanted the hand-worked windlass
+and capstan. By the end of the seventies steam had driven the sailing
+ship from the seas. A number of sailing vessels lingered on through
+the eighties, but they retained little of the corporate pride and
+splendour that was once theirs. The old spirit was gone never to
+return.
+
+When the sailing ship ruled the waters and the shanty was a living
+thing no one appears to have paid heed to it. To the landsman of those
+days--before folk-song hunting had begun--the haunting beauty of the
+tunes would appear to have made no appeal. This may be partly
+accounted for by the fact that he would never be likely to hear the
+sailor sing them ashore, and partly because of the Rabelaisian
+character of the words to which they were sung aboard ship. We had
+very prim notions of propriety in those days, and were apt to overlook
+the beauty of the melodies, and to speak of shanties in bulk as 'low
+vulgar songs.' Be that as it may, it was not until the late
+eighties--when the shanty was beginning to die out with the sailing
+ship--that any attempt was made to form a collection.
+
+
+ORIGIN OF THE WORD
+
+Here let me enter my protest against the literary preciosity which
+derives the word from (_un_) _chanté_ and spells it 'chanty'--in other
+words, against the gratuitous assumption that unlettered British
+sailors derived one of the commonest words in their vocabulary from a
+foreign source. The result of this 'literary' spelling is that
+ninety-nine landsmen out of every hundred, instead of pronouncing the
+word 'shanty,' rhyming with 'scanty' (_as every sailor did_),
+pronounce it 'tchahnty,' rhyming with 'auntie,' thereby courting the
+amusement or contempt of every seaman. The vogue of '_ch_anty' was
+apparently created by the late W.E. Henley, a fine poet, a great man
+of letters, a profound admirer of shanty tunes, but entirely
+unacquainted with nautical affairs. Kipling and other landsmen have
+given additional currency to the spelling. The 'literary' sailors,
+Clark Russell and Frank Bullen, have also spelt it '_ch_anty,' but
+their reason is obvious. The modest seaman always bowed before the
+landsman's presumed superiority in 'book-larnin'.' What more natural
+than that Russell and Bullen, obsessed by so ancient a tradition,
+should accept uncritically the landsman's spelling. But educated
+sailors devoid of 'literary' pretensions have always written the word
+as it was pronounced. To my mind the strongest argument against the
+literary landsman's derivation of the word is that the British sailor
+cultivated the supremest contempt for everything French, and would be
+the last person to label such a definitely British practice as
+shanty-singing with a French title. If there had been such a thing in
+French ships as a labour-song bearing such a far-fetched title as
+(_un_) _chanté_, there might have been a remote possibility of the
+British sailor adopting the French term in a spirit of sport or
+derision, but there is no evidence that any such practice, or any such
+term, achieved any vogue in French ships. As a matter of fact, the
+Oxford Dictionary (which prints it '_sh_anty') states that the word
+never found its way into print until 1869.
+
+The truth is that, however plausible the French derivation theory may
+sound, it is after all pure speculation--and a landsman's speculation
+at that--unsupported by a shred of concrete evidence.
+
+If I wished to advance another theory more plausible still, and
+equally unconvincing, I might urge that the word was derived from the
+negro hut-removals already mentioned. Here, at least, we have a very
+ancient custom, which would be familiar to British seamen visiting
+West Indian seaports. The object moved was a _shanty_; the music
+accompanying the operation was called, by the negroes, a _shanty_
+tune; its musical form (solo and chorus) was identical with the sailor
+_shanty_; the pulls on the rope followed the same method which
+obtained at sea; the soloist was called a _shanty_man; like the
+shantyman at sea he did no work, but merely extemporized verses to
+which the workers at the ropes supplied the chorus; and finally, the
+negroes still pronounce the word itself exactly as the seaman did.
+
+I am quite aware of the flaws in the above argument, but at least it
+shows a manual labour act performed both afloat and ashore under
+precisely similar conditions as to (_a_) its nature, (_b_) its musical
+setting; called by the same name, _with the same pronunciation_ in
+each case; and lastly, connected, in one case, with an actual hut or
+_shanty_. Against this concrete argument we have a landsman's abstract
+speculation, which (_a_) begs the whole question, and (_b_) which was
+never heard of until a few years before the disappearance of the
+sailing ship. I do not assert that the negroid derivation is
+conclusive, but that from (_un_) _chanté_ will not bear serious
+inspection.
+
+
+BIBLIOGRAPHY
+
+The material under this head is very scanty. Nothing of any
+consequence was written before the eighties, when W.L. Alden, in
+_Harper's Magazine_, and James Runciman, in the _St. James's Gazette_
+and other papers, wrote articles on the subject with musical
+quotations. Since then several collections have appeared:
+
+     1887. _Sailors' Songs or Chanties_, the words by Frederick
+     J. Davis, R.N.R., the music composed and arranged upon
+     traditional sailor airs by Ferris Tozer, Mus. D. Oxon.
+
+     1888. _The Music of the Waters_, by Laura Alexandrine Smith.
+
+     1910 and 1912. _Sea Songs, Ships, and Shanties_, by Capt.
+     W.B. Whall.
+
+     1912. _Songs of Sea Labour_, by Frank T. Bullen and W.F.
+     Arnold.
+
+     1914. _English Folk Chanteys_ with Pianoforte Accompaniment,
+     collected by Cecil J. Sharp.
+
+Of all these collections Capt. Whall's is the only one which a sailor
+could accept as authoritative. Capt. Whall unfortunately only gives
+the twenty-eight shanties which he himself learnt at sea. But to any
+one who has heard them sung aboard the old sailing ships, his versions
+ring true, and have a bite and a snap that is lacking in those
+published by mere collectors.
+
+Davis and Tozer's book has had a great vogue, as it was for many years
+the only one on the market. But the statement that the music is
+'composed and arranged on traditional sailor airs' rules it out of
+court in the eyes of seamen, since (_a_) a sailor song is not a
+shanty, and (_b_) to 'compose and arrange on traditional airs' is to
+destroy the traditional form.
+
+Miss Smith's book is a thick volume into which was tumbled
+indiscriminately and uncritically a collection of all sorts of tunes
+from all sorts of countries which had any connection with seas, lakes,
+rivers, or their geographical equivalents. Scientific folk-song
+collecting was not understood in those days, and consequently all was
+fish that came to the authoress's net. Sailor shanties and landsmen's
+nautical effusions were jumbled together higgledy-piggledy, along with
+'Full Fathom Five' and the 'Eton Boating Song.' But this lack of
+discrimination, pardonable in those days, was not so serious as the
+inability to write the tunes down correctly. So long as they were
+copied from other song-books they were not so bad, but when it came to
+taking them down from the seamen's singing the results were
+deplorable. Had the authoress been able to give us correct versions of
+the shanties her collection would have been a valuable one. The book
+contains altogether about thirty-two shanties collected from sailors
+in the Tyne seaports. Since both Miss Smith and myself hail from
+Newcastle, her 'hunting ground' for shanties was also mine, and I am
+consequently in a position to assess the importance or unimportance of
+her work. I may, therefore, say that although hardly a single shanty
+is noted down correctly, I can see clearly--having myself noted the
+same tunes in the same district--what she intended to convey, and
+furthermore can vouch for the accuracy of some of the words which were
+common to north country sailors, and which have not appeared in other
+collections.
+
+If I have been obliged to criticize Miss Smith's book it is not
+because I wish to disparage a well-intentioned effort, but because I
+constantly hear _The Music of the Waters_ quoted as an authoritative
+work on sailor shanties; and since the shanties in it were all
+collected in the district where I spent boyhood and youth, I am
+familiar with all of them, and can state definitely that they are in
+no sense authoritative. I should like, however, to pay my tribute of
+respect to Miss Smith's industry, and to her enterprise in calling
+attention to tunes that then seemed in a fair way to disappear.
+
+Bullen and Arnold's book ought to have been a valuable contribution to
+shanty literature, as Bullen certainly knew his shanties, and used to
+sing them capitally. Unfortunately his musical collaborator does not
+appear to have been gifted with the faculty of taking down authentic
+versions from his singing. He seems to have had difficulty in
+differentiating between long measured notes and unmeasured pauses;
+between the respective meanings of three-four and six-eight time;
+between modal and modern tunes; and between the cases where irregular
+barring was or was not required. Apart from the amateur nature of the
+harmonies, the book exhibits such strange unacquaintance with the
+rudiments of musical notation as the following (p. 25):
+
+[Music illustration]
+
+A few other collections deserve mention:
+
+     1912. _The Espérance Morris Book_, Part II (Curwen Edition
+     8571), contains five shanties collected and arranged by
+     Clive Carey.
+
+     1914. _Shanties and Forebitters_, collected and
+     accompaniments written by Mrs. Clifford Beckett (Curwen
+     Edition 6293).
+
+     _Journal of the Folk-Song Society_, Nos. 12, 18, and 20,
+     contain articles on shanties, with musical examples
+     (melodies only), which, from the academic point of view, are
+     not without interest.
+
+     1920. _The Motherland Song Book_ (Vols. III and IV, edited
+     by R. Vaughan Williams) contains seven shanties. It is
+     worthy of note that Dr. Vaughan Williams, Mr. Clive Carey,
+     and Mrs. Clifford Beckett all spell the word 'shanty' as
+     sailors pronounced it.
+
+     1920. _Sailor Shanties arranged for Solo and Chorus of Men's
+     Voices_ by the present editor; two selections (Curwen
+     Edition 50571 and 50572).
+
+There are one or two other collections in print which are obviously
+compilations, showing no original research. Of these I make no note.
+
+
+SHANTY FORMS
+
+Shanties may be roughly divided, as regards their use, into two
+classes: (_a_) Hauling shanties, and (_b_) Windlass and Capstan. The
+former class accompanied the setting of the sails, and the latter the
+weighing of the anchor, or 'warping her in' to the wharf, etc. Capstan
+shanties were also used for pumping ship. A few shanties were
+'interchangeable,' i.e. they were used for both halliards and capstan.
+The subdivisions of each class are interesting, and the nature of the
+work involving 'walk away,' 'stamp and go,' 'sweating her up,' 'hand
+over hand,' and other types of shanty would make good reading; but
+nautical details, however fascinating, must be economized in a musical
+publication.
+
+Capstan shanties are readily distinguishable by their music. The
+operation of walking round the capstan (pushing the capstan bars in
+front of them) was continuous and not intermittent. Both tune and
+chorus were, as a rule, longer than those of the hauling shanty, and
+there was much greater variety of rhythm. Popular songs, if they had a
+chorus or refrain, could be, and were, effectively employed for
+windlass and capstan work.
+
+Hauling shanties were usually shorter than capstan ones, and are of
+two types: (_a_) those used for 'the long hoist' and (_b_) those
+required for 'the short pull' or 'sweating-up.' Americans called these
+operations the 'long' and the 'short drag.' The former was used when
+beginning to hoist sails, when the gear would naturally be slack and
+moderately easy to manipulate. It had two short choruses, with a
+double pull in each. In the following example, the pulls are marked
+[music accent symbol].
+
+[Music illustration: REUBEN RANZO
+
+     SOLO. Oh pity poor Reuben Ranzo,
+     CHORUS. [accent] Ranzo, boys, [accent] Ranzo,
+     SOLO. Oh poor old Reuben Ranzo,
+     CHORUS. [accent] Ranzo, boys, [accent] Ranzo.]
+
+It is easy to see how effective a collective pull at each of these
+points would be, while the short intervals of solo would give time for
+shifting the hands on the rope and making ready for the next combined
+effort.
+
+When the sail was fully hoisted and the gear taut, a much stronger
+pull was necessary in order to make everything fast, so the shanty was
+then changed for a 'sweating-up' one, in which there was only one
+short chorus and one very strong pull:
+
+[Music illustration: HAUL THE BOWLIN'
+
+     SOLO: We'll haul the bowlin', so early in the morning,
+     CHORUS: We'll haul the bowlin', the bowlin' [accent] haul.]
+
+So much effort was now required on the pull that it was difficult to
+sing a musical note at that point. The last word was therefore usually
+shouted.
+
+
+SOURCES OF TUNES
+
+The sailor travelled in many lands, and in his shanties there are
+distinct traces of the nationalities of the countries he visited.
+Without doubt a number of them came from American negro sources. The
+songs heard on Venetian gondolas must have had their effect, as many
+examples show. There are also distinct traces of folk-songs which the
+sailor would have learnt ashore in his native fishing village, and the
+more familiar Christy Minstrel song was frequently pressed into the
+service. As an old sailor once said to me: 'You can make anything into
+a shanty.'
+
+Like all traditional tunes, some shanties are in the ancient modes,
+and others in the modern major and minor keys. It is the habit of the
+'folk-songer' (I am not alluding to our recognized folk-song experts)
+to find 'modes' in every traditional tune. It will suffice, therefore,
+to say that shanties follow the course of all other traditional music.
+Many are modern, and easily recognizable as such. Others are modal in
+character, such as 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor?' No. 14,
+and 'The Hog's-Eye Man,' No. 11. Others fulfil to a certain extent
+modal conditions, but are nevertheless in keys, e.g. 'Stormalong
+John,' No. 10.
+
+Like many other folk-songs, certain shanties--originally, no doubt, in
+a mode--were, by the insertion of leading notes, converted into the
+minor key. There was also the tendency on the part of the modern
+sailor to turn his minor key into a major one. I sometimes find
+sailors singing in the major, nowadays, tunes which the very old men
+of my boyhood used to sing in the minor. A case in point is 'Haul
+away, Joe,' No. 28. Miss Smith is correct in giving it in the minor
+form which once obtained on the Tyne, and I am inclined to hazard the
+opinion that that was the original form and not, as now, the
+following:
+
+[Music illustration:
+
+     Way, haul away,
+     We'll haul away the bowlin'.
+     Way, haul away,
+     We'll haul away, Joe.]
+
+In later times I have also heard 'The Drunken Sailor' (a distinctly
+modal tune) sung in the major as follows:
+
+[Music illustration:
+
+     What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
+     What shall we do with the drunken sailor? etc.]
+
+I have generally found that these perversions of the tunes are due to
+sailors who took to the sea as young men in the last days of the
+sailing ship, and consequently did not imbibe to the full the old
+traditions. With the intolerance of youth they assumed that the modal
+turn given to a shanty by the older sailor was the mark of ignorance,
+since it did not square with their ideas of a major or minor key. This
+experience is common to all folk-tune collectors.
+
+Other characteristics, for example: (_a_) different words to the same
+melody; (_b_) different melodies to the same or similar words, need
+not be enlarged upon here, as they will be self-evident when a
+definitive collection is published.
+
+Of the usual troubles incidental to folk-song collecting it is
+unnecessary to speak. But the collection of shanties involves
+difficulties of a special kind. In taking down a folk-song from a
+rustic, one's chief difficulty is surmounted when one has broken down
+his shyness and induced him to sing. There is nothing for him to do
+then but get on with the song. Shanties, however, being labour songs,
+one is 'up against' the strong psychological connection between the
+song and its manual acts. Two illustrations will explain what I mean.
+
+A friend of mine who lives in Kerry wished a collector to hear some of
+the traditional keening, and an old woman with the reputation of being
+the best keener in the district, when brought to the house to sing the
+funeral chants, made several attempts and then replied in a distressed
+manner: 'I can't do it; there's no body,' This did not mean that she
+was unwilling to keen in the absence of a corpse, but that she was
+unable to do so. Just before giving up in despair my friend was seized
+with a brain wave, and asked her if it would suffice for him to lie
+down on the floor and personate the corpse. When he had done this the
+old woman found herself able to get on with the keening.
+
+An incident related to me quite casually by Sir Walter Runciman throws
+a similar light on the inseparability of a shanty and its labour. He
+described how one evening several north country ships happened to be
+lying in a certain port. All the officers and crews were ashore,
+leaving only the apprentices aboard, some of whom, as he remarked,
+were 'very keen on shanties,' and their suggestion of passing away the
+time by singing some was received with enthusiasm. The whole party of
+about thirty apprentices at once collected themselves aboard one
+vessel, sheeted home the main topsail, and commenced to haul it up to
+the tune of 'Boney was a warrior,' changing to 'Haul the Bowlin'' for
+'sweating-up.' In the enthusiasm of their singing, and the absence of
+any officer to call ''Vast hauling,' they continued operations until
+they broke the topsail yard in two, when the sight of the wreckage and
+the fear of consequences brought the singing to an abrupt conclusion.
+In my then ignorance I naturally asked: 'Why couldn't you have sung
+shanties without hoisting the topsail?' and the reply was: 'How could
+we sing a shanty without having our hands on the rope?' Here we have
+the whole psychology of the labour-song: the old woman could not keen
+without the 'body,' and the young apprentices could not sing shanties
+apart from the work to which they belonged. The only truly
+satisfactory results which I ever get nowadays from an old sailor are
+when he has been stimulated by conversation to become reminiscent, and
+croons his shanties almost subconsciously. Whenever I find a sailor
+willing to declaim shanties in the style of a song I begin to be a
+little suspicious of his seamanship. In one of the journals of the
+Folk-Song Society there is an account of a sailor who formed a little
+party of seafaring men to give public performances of shanties on the
+concert platform. No doubt this was an interesting experience for the
+listeners, but that a self-conscious performance such as this could
+represent the old shanty singing I find it difficult to believe. Of
+course I have had sailors sing shanties to me in a fine declamatory
+manner, but I usually found one of three things to be the case: the
+man was a 'sea lawyer,' or had not done much deep-sea sailing; or his
+seamanship only dated from the decline of the sailing vessel.
+
+It is doubtless interesting to the folk-songer to see in print
+shanties taken down from an individual sailor with his individual
+melodic twirls and twiddles. But since no two sailors ever sing the
+same shanty quite in the same manner, there must necessarily be some
+means of getting at the tune, unhampered by these individual
+idiosyncrasies, which are quite a different thing from what folk-song
+students recognize as 'variants.' The power to discriminate can only
+be acquired by familiarity with the shanty as it was in its palmy
+days. The collector who comes upon the scene at this late time of day
+must necessarily be at a disadvantage. The ordinary methods which he
+would apply to a folk-song break down in the case of a labour-song.
+Manual actions were the soul of the shanty; eliminate these and you
+have only the skeleton of what was once a living thing. It is quite
+possible, I know, to push this line of argument too far, but every one
+who knows anything about seamanship must feel that a shanty nowadays
+cannot be other than a pale reflection of what it once was.
+
+That is why I deprecate the spurious authenticity conferred by print
+upon isolated versions of shanties sung by individual old men. When
+the originals are available it seems to me pedantic and academic to
+put into print the comic mispronunciations of well-known words by old
+and uneducated seamen.
+
+And this brings me to the last difficulty which confronts the
+collector with no previous knowledge of shanties. As a mere matter of
+dates, any sailors now remaining from sailing ship days must
+necessarily be very old men. I have found that their octogenarian
+memories are not always to be trusted. On one occasion an old man sang
+quite glibly a tune which was in reality a _pasticcio_ of three
+separate shanties all known to me. I have seen similar results in
+print, since the collector arrived too late upon the scene to be able
+to detect the tricks which an old man's memory played him.
+
+One final remark about collectors which has an important bearing upon
+the value of their work. There were two classes of sailing vessels
+that sailed from English ports--the coaster or the mere collier that
+plied between the Tyne or Severn and Boulogne, and the Southspainer,
+under which term was comprised all deep-sea vessels. On the collier or
+short-voyage vessel the crew was necessarily a small one, and the
+shanty was more or less of a makeshift, adapted to the capacity of the
+limited numbers of the crew. Purely commercial reasons precluded the
+engagement of any shantyman specially distinguished for his musical
+attainments. Consequently, so far as the shanty was concerned, 'any
+old thing would do.' On the Southspainer, however, things were very
+different. The shantyman was usually a person of considerable musical
+importance, who sang his songs in a more or less finished manner; his
+melodies were clean, clear-cut things, without any of the
+folk-songer's quavers and wobbles. I heard them in the 'seventies and
+'eighties before the sailing-ship had vanished, consequently I give
+them as they were then sung--undisfigured and unobscured by the
+mixture of twirls, quavers, and hiccups one hears from octogenarian
+mariners who attempt them to-day.
+
+
+METHOD OF SINGING
+
+So far as the music was concerned, a shanty was a song with a chorus.
+The song was rendered by one singer, called the shantyman, and the
+chorus by the sailors who performed their work in time with the music.
+So far as the words were concerned there was usually a stereotyped
+opening of one or more verses. For all succeeding verses the shantyman
+improvized words, and his topics were many and varied, the most
+appreciated naturally being personal allusions to the crew and
+officers, sarcastic criticism on the quality of the food, wistful
+references to the good time coming on shore, etc. There was no need
+for any connection or relevancy between one verse or another, nor were
+rhymes required. The main thing that mattered was that the rhythm
+should be preserved and that the words should be such as would keep
+the workers merry or interested. Once the stereotyped verses were got
+rid of and the improvization began, things became so intimate and
+personal as to be unprintable. It was a curious fact that such shanty
+words as lent themselves most to impropriety were wedded to tunes
+either of fine virility or haunting sweetness.
+
+For 'pull-and-haul' shanties the shantyman took up his position near
+the workers and announced the shanty, sometimes by singing the first
+line. This established the tune to which they were to supply the
+chorus. For capstan shanties he usually did the same. He frequently
+sat on the capstan, but so far as I can learn he more usually took up
+his position on or against the knightheads. The importance of the
+shantyman could not be overestimated. A good shantyman with a pretty
+wit was worth his weight in gold. He was a privileged person, and was
+excused all work save light or odd jobs.
+
+
+THE WORDS OF SHANTIES
+
+I have already noted the shanties which were derived from popular
+songs, also the type which contained a definite narrative. Except
+where a popular song was adapted, the form was usually rhymed or more
+often unrhymed couplets. The topics were many and varied, but the
+chief ones were: (1) popular heroes such as Napoleon, and 'Santy
+Anna.' That the British sailor of the eighteenth century should hate
+every Frenchman and yet make a hero of Bonaparte is one of the
+mysteries which has never been explained. Another mystery is the
+fascination which Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1795-1876) exercised
+over the sailor. He was one of the many Mexican 'Presidents' and was
+defeated by the American General Taylor in 1847. That did not prevent
+the British sailor presenting him in the light of an invariable victor
+until he was led out to be shot (he really died a natural death) by
+persons unknown. (2) The sailor had mythical heroes too, e.g. 'Ranzo,'
+already mentioned, and 'Stormy,' who was the theme of many shanties.
+No sailor could ever give the least explanation of them, and so they
+remain the last echoes of long forgotten sagas. (3) High-sounding,
+poetic, or mysterious words, such as 'Lowlands,' 'Shenandoah,'
+'Rolling river,' 'Hilo,' 'Mobile Bay,' 'Rio Grande,' had a great
+fascination, as their constant recurrence in many shanties shows. (4)
+The sailor also sang much of famous ships, such as 'The Flying Cloud,'
+'The Henry Clay,' or 'The Victory,' and famous lines, such as 'The
+Black Ball.' Even famous shipowners were celebrated in song, as
+witness 'Mr. John Tapscott,' in 'We're all bound to go.' (5) Love
+affairs, in which 'Lizer Lee' and other damsels constantly figured,
+were an endless topic. (6) But chiefly did Jack sing of affairs
+connected with his ship. He never sang of 'the rolling main,' 'the
+foaming billows,' 'the storm clouds,' etc. These are the
+stock-in-trade of the landsman; they were too real for the sailor to
+sing about. He had the instinct of the primitive man which forbids
+mention of natural forces of evil omen. But intimate or humorous
+matters such as the failings of his officers, the quality of the food,
+the rate of pay, or other grievances were treated with vigour and
+emphasis. Like the Britisher of to-day, he would put up with any
+hardship so long as he were permitted to grouse about it. The
+shantyman gave humorous expression to this grousing, which deprived it
+of the element of sulks. Steam let off in this way was a wholesome
+preventive of mutiny.
+
+The choruses were usually jingles, with no relevance save maintenance
+of the rhythm.
+
+One feature of the words may be noted. The sailor's instinct for
+romance was so strong that in his choruses, at least, no matter how
+'hair-curling' the solo might be, he always took the crude edge off
+the concrete and presented it as an abstraction if possible. For
+example, he knew perfectly well that one meaning of 'to blow' was to
+knock or kick. He knew that discipline in Yankee packets was
+maintained by corporeal methods, so much so that the Mates, to whom
+the function of knocking the 'packet rats' about was delegated, were
+termed first, second, and third 'blowers,' or strikers, and in the
+shanty he sang 'Blow the man down.' 'Knock' or 'kick,' as I have
+recently seen in a printed collection, was too crudely realistic for
+him. In like manner the humorous title, 'Hog's-eye,' veiled the coarse
+intimacy of the term which it represented. And that is where, when
+collecting shanties from the 'longshore' mariner of to-day, I find
+him, if he is uneducated, so tiresome. He not only wants to explain to
+me as a landsman the exact meaning (which I know already) of terms
+which the old type of sailor, with his natural delicacy, avoided
+discussing, but he tries where possible to work them into his shanty,
+a thing the sailor of old time never did. So that when one sees in
+print expressions which sailors did not use, it is presumptive
+evidence that the collector has been imposed upon by a salt of the
+'sea lawyer' type.
+
+Perhaps I ought to make this point clearer. Folk-song collecting was
+once an artistic pursuit. Now it has become a flourishing industry of
+high commercial value. From the commercial point of view it is
+essential that results should be printed and circulated as widely as
+possible. Some knowledge of seamanship is an absolute necessity where
+folk-shanties are concerned. The mere collector nowadays does not
+possess that knowledge; it is confined to those who have had practical
+experience of the sea, but who will never print their experiences. The
+mere collector _must_ print his versions. What is unprinted must
+remain unknown; what is printed is therefore accepted as
+authoritative, however misleading it may be. Many highly educated men,
+of whom Captain Whall is the type, have followed the sea. It is from
+them that the only really trustworthy information is forthcoming. But
+so far as I can judge, it is uneducated men who appear to sing to
+collectors nowadays, and I have seen many a quiet smile on the lips of
+the educated sailor when he is confronted with printed versions of the
+uneducated seaman's performances. For example, one of the best known
+of all shanties is 'The Hog's-eye man'; I have seen this entitled 'The
+Hog-eyed man,' and even 'The Ox-eyed man.' Every old sailor knew the
+meaning of the term. Whall and Bullen, who were both sailors, use the
+correct expression, 'Hog-eye.' The majority of sailors of my
+acquaintance called it 'Hog's-eye.' Did decency permit I could show
+conclusively how Whall and Bullen are right and the mere collector
+wrong. It must suffice, however, for me to say that the term
+'Hog's-eye' or 'Hog-eye' had nothing whatever to do with the optic of
+the 'man' who was sung about. I could multiply instances, but this one
+is typical and must suffice.
+
+We hear a great deal of the coarseness and even lewdness of the
+shanty, but I could wish a little more stress were laid on the
+sailor's natural delicacy. Jack was always a gentleman in feeling.
+Granted his drinking, cursing, and amours--but were not these, until
+Victorian times, the hall-mark of every gentleman ashore? The
+Rabelaisian jokes of the shantyman were solos, the sound of which
+would not travel far beyond the little knot of workers who chuckled
+over them. The choruses--shouted out by the whole working party--would
+be heard all over the ship and even penetrate ashore if she were in
+port. Hence, in not a single instance do the choruses of any shanty
+contain a coarse expression.
+
+
+EDITORIAL METHODS
+
+As regards the tunes, I have adhered to the principle of giving each
+one as it was sung by some individual singer. This method has not been
+applied to the words. Consequently the verses of any given shanty may
+have derived from any number of singers. Since there was no connection
+or relevancy between the different verses of a shanty, the only
+principle I have adhered to is that whatever verses are set down
+should have been sung to me at some time or other by some sailor or
+other.
+
+Of course I have had to camouflage many unprintable expressions, and
+old sailors will readily recognize where this has been done. Sometimes
+a whole verse (after the first line) has needed camouflage, and the
+method adopted is best expressed as follows:
+
+     There was a young lady of Gloucester
+     Who couldn't eat salt with her egg,
+     And when she sat down
+     She could never get up,
+     And so the poor dog had none.
+
+As regards the accompaniments, I have been solely guided by the
+necessity of preserving the character of the melodies in all their
+vigour and vitality, and have tried, even in obviously modal tunes,
+not to obscure their breeziness by academic treatment.

+NOTES ON THE SHANTIES
+
+
+1. BILLY BOY
+
+This is undoubtedly a coast song 'made into a shanty.' I heard it in
+Northumberland, both on shore and in ships, when I was a boy. The
+theme of a 'Boy Billy' seems common to folk-songs in different parts
+of the country. The tunes are different, and the words vary, but the
+topic is always the same: 'Billy' is asked where he has been all the
+day; he replies that he has been courting; he is then questioned as to
+the qualifications of his _inamorata_ as a housewife. Dr.
+Vaughan-Williams's 'My Boy Billie' is in print and well known, as is
+also Mr. Cecil Sharp's 'My Boy Willie' ['English Folk-Songs,' vol. i,
+page 98]. I have also collected different versions in Warwickshire and
+Somerset. The version of line 1, page 3, bars 2 and 3, is older than
+the one given in my arrangement for male-voice chorus (Curwen Edition
+50572), so, upon consideration, I decided to give it here. There are
+many more verses, but they are not printable, nor do they readily lend
+themselves to camouflage. The tune has not appeared in print until
+now.
+
+
+2. BOUND FOR THE RIO GRANDE
+
+The variants of this noble tune are legion. But this version, which a
+sailor uncle taught me, has been selected, as I think it the most
+beautiful of all. I used to notice, even as a boy, how it seemed to
+inspire the shantyman to sentimental flights of _Heimweh_ that at
+times came perilously near poetry. The words of the well-known song,
+'Where are you going to, my pretty maid?' were frequently sung to this
+shanty, and several sailors have told me that they had also used the
+words of the song known as 'The Fishes.' Capt. Whall gives 'The
+Fishes' on pages 96 and 97 of his book, and says that the words were,
+in his time, sometimes used to the tune of 'Blow the man down.'
+
+
+3. GOOD-BYE, FARE YE WELL
+
+This is one of the best beloved of shanties. So strongly did its
+sentiment appeal to sailors that one never heard the shantyman
+extemporize a coarse verse to it. Whall prints a version, page 71.
+
+
+4. JOHNNY COME DOWN TO HILO
+
+This is clearly of negro origin. I learnt several variants of it, but
+for its present form I am indebted to Capt. W.J. Dowdy.
+
+
+5. CLEAR THE TRACK, LET THE BULLGINE RUN
+
+The tune was a favourite in Yankee Packets. It does not appear in
+Whall. 'Bullgine' was American negro slang for 'engine.' I picked up
+this version in boyhood from Blyth seamen.
+
+
+6. LOWLANDS
+
+For another version see Whall (page 80), who says it is of American
+origin and comes from the cotton ports of the old Southern States. It
+was well known to every sailor down to the time of the China Clippers.
+My version is that of Capt. John Runciman, who belonged to that
+period. I have seldom found it known to sailors who took to the sea
+after the early seventies. The tune was sung in very free time and
+with great solemnity. It is almost impossible to reproduce in print
+the elusive subtlety of this haunting melody. In North-country ships
+the shantyman used to make much of the theme of a dead lover appearing
+in the night. There were seldom any rhymes, and the air was
+indescribably touching when humoured by a good hand. A 'hoosier,' by
+the way, is a cotton stevedore. An interesting point about this shanty
+is that, whether by accident or design, it exhibits a rhythmic device
+commonly practised by medićval composers, known as _proportio
+sesquialtera_. Expressed in modern notation it would mean the
+interpolation of bars of three-four time in the course of a
+composition which was in six-eight time. The number of quavers would,
+of course, be the same in each bar; but the rhythm would be different.
+The barring here adopted does not show this.
+
+
+7. SALLY BROWN
+
+For another version of this universally known shanty see Whall, page
+64. Although its musical form is that of a halliard shanty, it was
+always used for the capstan. I never heard it used for any other
+purpose than heaving the anchor. The large-sized notes given in the
+last bar are those which most sailors sing to me nowadays; the small
+ones are those which I most frequently heard when a boy.
+
+
+8. SANTY ANNA
+
+This fine shanty was a great favourite, and in defiance of all history
+the sailor presents 'Santy Anna' in the light of an invariable victor.
+The truth is that Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1795-1876) was the
+last President of Mexico before the annexation by America of
+California, Texas, and New Mexico. He defeated the Spaniards at
+Zampico, and held Vera Cruz against the French, but was badly beaten
+at Molina del Rey by the United States Army under General Taylor
+(1847). He was recalled to the Presidency in 1853, but overthrown in
+1855. He attempted to overturn the Republic in 1867; was captured and
+sentenced to death, but was pardoned on condition that he left the
+country. He retired to the United States until 1872, when a general
+amnesty allowed his return to Mexico. Like other Mexican Presidents,
+he lived a stormy life, but unlike most of them he died a natural
+death. Whall gives a version on page 89.
+
+
+9. SHENANDOAH
+
+This is one of the most famous of all shanties. I never met a sailor
+to whom it was unknown, nor have I ever found any two who sang it
+exactly alike. This version (sung to me by Capt. Robertson) is almost,
+but not quite, identical with the one I learnt as a boy. Shenandoah
+(English seamen usually pronounced it 'Shannandore') was a celebrated
+Indian chief after whom an American town is named. A branch of the
+Potomac river bears the same name. The tune was always sung with great
+feeling and in very free rhythm. Whall gives a version on page 1.
+
+
+10. STORMALONG JOHN
+
+This is one of the many shanties with 'Stormy' as their hero. Whatever
+other verses were extemporized, those relating to digging his grave
+with a silver spade, and lowering him down with a golden chain, were
+rarely omitted. Other favourite verses were:
+
+     (_a_) I wish I was old Stormy's son.
+     (_b_) I'd build a ship a thousand ton.
+
+Who 'Stormy' was is undiscoverable, but more than a dozen shanties
+mourn him.
+
+
+11. THE HOG'S-EYE MAN
+
+Of the numberless versions of this shanty I have chosen that of Capt.
+Robertson as being the most representative. Of the infinite number of
+verses to this fine tune hardly one is printable. There has been much
+speculation as to the origin of the title. As a boy my curiosity was
+piqued by reticence, evasion, or declarations of ignorance, whenever I
+asked the meaning of the term. It was only in later life that I learnt
+it from Mr. Morley Roberts. His explanation made it clear why every
+_sailor_ called it either 'hog-eye' or 'hog's-eye,' and why only
+_landsmen_ editors ever get the word wrong. One collector labels the
+shanty 'The hog-eyed man,' and another goes still further wide of the
+mark by calling it 'The ox-eyed man.' The remarks on this shanty in
+the Preface will show the absurdity of both titles. That is all the
+explanation I am at liberty to give in print. Whall gives the shanty
+on page 118, his version differing but slightly from Capt.
+Robertson's.
+
+
+12. THE WILD GOOSE SHANTY
+
+This I learnt from Capt. John Runciman. Allusions to 'The Wild Goose
+Nation' occur in many shanties, but I never obtained any clue to the
+meaning (if any) of the term. The verse about 'huckleberry hunting'
+was rarely omitted, but I never heard that particular theme further
+developed. Whall gives another version (in six-eight time) on page
+131.
+
+
+13. WE'RE ALL BOUND TO GO
+
+I used to hear this tune constantly on the Tyne. It is one of the few
+shanties which preserved a definite narrative, but each port seems to
+have offered variants on the names of the ships that were 'bound for
+Amerikee.' 'Mr. Tapscott' was the head of a famous line of emigrant
+ships. The last word in verse 5 was always pronounced _male_. This has
+led to many shantymen treating it not as _meal_, but as the _mail_
+which the ship carried. As the shanty is full of Irish allusions, the
+probabilities are that the word was _meal_, to which the sailor gave
+what he considered to be the Irish pronunciation. Whenever I heard the
+shanty it was given with an attempt at Irish pronunciation throughout.
+Capt. Whall (page 79) gives additional colour to the supposition that
+this was a general practice, for his version of verse 6 runs:
+
+     'Bad luck unto them _say_-boys,
+        Bad luck to them I say;
+      They broke into me _say_-chest
+        And they stole me clothes away.'
+
+
+14. WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SAILOR?
+
+This fine tune--in the first Mode--was always a great favourite.
+Although mostly used for windlass or capstan, Sir Walter Runciman
+tells me that he frequently sang to it for 'hand-over-hand' hauling.
+Whall gives it on page 107 under the title 'Early in the morning.' It
+is one of the few shanties that were sung in quick time.
+
+
+15. BLOW, MY BULLY BOYS
+
+This shanty has been included in every collection that I know of. (See
+Whall, page 91.) Most of my sailor relatives sang the last line thus:
+
+[Music illustration: Her masts and yards they shine like silver.]
+
+Spotless decks, and 'masts and yards that shone like silver,' were the
+distinguishing marks of a Yankee Packet, and this immaculate condition
+was the result of a terrible discipline, in which the belaying pin was
+a gruesome factor.
+
+
+16. BLOW THE MAN DOWN
+
+This is the shanty which is perhaps the best known among landsmen.
+'Winchester Street' is in South Shields, and in the old days was the
+aristocratic quarter where only persons of high distinction--such as
+shipowners, and 'Southspainer' skippers--lived. Whall gives the shanty
+on page 92.
+
+
+17. CHEER'LY, MEN
+
+This is a very well-known shanty, and the variants of it are endless.
+This particular version was sung to me by Capt. R.W. Robertson. It
+differs but slightly from the version which I originally learnt from
+Sir Walter Runciman. Very few of the words were printable, and old
+sailors who read my version will no doubt chuckle over the somewhat
+pointless continuation of the verses concerning Kitty Carson and Polly
+Riddle. They will, of course, see the point of my having supplied a
+Chopinesque accompaniment to such a shanty.
+
+
+18. GOOD MORNING, LADIES ALL
+
+The title belongs to other shanties as well; but, so far as I know,
+this tune has never been printed until now. I learnt it from
+Northumbrian sailors when a very small boy, and have never heard of
+its use in any other than Blyth and Tyne ships. It may be a
+Northumbrian air, but from such knowledge as I have gleaned of
+Northumbrian folk-tunes, I incline to the conjecture that it may have
+been picked up in more southern latitudes by some Northumbrian seaman.
+
+
+19. HANGING JOHNNY
+
+This cheery riot of gore is wedded to the most plaintive of tunes, and
+is immortalized by Masefield in his 'Sailor's Garland.' Nowadays one
+occasionally meets unhumorous longshore sailormen who endeavour to
+temper its fury to the shorn landsman by palming off a final verse,
+which gives one to understand that the previous stanzas have been only
+'Johnny's' little fun, and which makes him bleat:
+
+     'They said I hanged for money,
+      But I never hanged nobody.'
+
+I also possess a shanty collection where the words have so clearly
+shocked the editor that he has composed an entirely fresh set. These
+exhibit 'Johnny' as a spotless moralist, who would never _really_ hang
+his parents, but would only operate (in a Pickwickian sense of course)
+on naughty and unworthy people:
+
+     'I'd hang a noted liar,
+      I'd hang a bloated friar.
+
+     'I'd hang a brutal mother,
+      I'd hang her and no other.
+
+     'I'd hang to make things jolly,
+      I'd hang all wrong and folly.'
+
+Imagine a shantyman (_farceur_ as he ever was) making for edification
+in that style!
+
+
+20. HILO SOMEBODY
+
+This is another of the shanties I learnt as a boy from Blyth sailors,
+and which has never been printed before. I fancy that 'blackbird' and
+'crew' must be a perversion of 'blackbird and _crow_,' as the latter
+figure of speech occurs in other shanties.
+
+
+21. OH, RUN, LET THE BULLGINE RUN
+
+The reference to the 'Bullgine' seems to suggest Transatlantic origin.
+There were endless verses, but no attempt at narrative beyond a
+recital of the names of places from which and to which they were
+'running.' This version was sung to me by Mr. F.B. Mayoss, a seaman
+who sailed in the old China Clippers.
+
+
+22. REUBEN RANZO
+
+Alden gives this version, and I fancy it may have once been fairly
+general, as several of my relatives used to sing it. The version I
+mostly heard from other sailors, however, began:
+
+[Music illustration: Oh, pity poor Reuben Ranzo etc.]
+
+But from Mr. Morley Roberts I had the following:
+
+[Music illustration: Oh, pity poor Reuben Ranzo etc.]
+
+Capt. Robertson's version ran thus:
+
+[Music illustration:
+
+     Oh, poor old Reuben Ranzo,
+     Ranzo, boys, Ranzo,
+     Oh, poor old Reuben Ranzo,
+     Ranzo, boys, Ranzo.]
+
+Whall gives another version on page 84.
+
+Who Ranzo was must ever remain a mystery. Capt. Whall suggests that
+the word might be a corruption of Lorenzo, since Yankee Whalers took
+many Portuguese men from the Azores, where Lorenzo would have been a
+common enough name. He adds that in his time the shanty was always
+sung to the regulation words, and that 'when the story was finished
+there was no attempt at improvization; the text was, I suppose,
+considered sacred.' He further says that he never heard any variation
+from the words which he gives.
+
+I think he is right about the absence of improvization on extraneous
+topics, but I used to hear a good deal of improvization on the subject
+of Ranzo himself. I knew at least three endings of the story: (1)
+where the captain took him into the cabin, 'larned him navigation,'
+and eventually married him to his daughter; (2) where Ranzo's hatred
+of ablutions caused the indignant crew to throw him overboard; (3)
+where the story ended with the lashes received, not for his dirty
+habits, but for a theft:
+
+     'We gave him lashes thirty
+      For stealin' the captain's turkey.'
+
+I have also heard many extemporaneous verses relating his adventures
+among the denizens of the deep after he was thrown overboard.
+
+
+23. THE DEAD HORSE
+
+This shanty was used both for hauling and for pumping ship. It seems
+to have had its origin in a rite which took place after the crew had
+'worked off the dead horse.' The circumstances were these: Before any
+voyage, the crew received a month's pay in advance, which, needless to
+say, was spent ashore before the vessel sailed. Jack's first month on
+sea was therefore spent in clearing off his advance, which he called
+working off the dead horse. The end of that payless period was
+celebrated with a solemn ceremony: a mass of straw, or whatever other
+combustibles were to hand, was made up into a big bundle, which
+sometimes did, and more often did not, resemble a horse. This was
+dragged round the deck by all hands, the shanty being sung meanwhile.
+The perambulation completed, the dead horse was lighted and hauled up,
+usually to the main-yardarm, and when the flames had got a good hold,
+the rope was cut and the blazing mass fell into the sea, amid shouts
+of jubilation.
+
+
+24. TOM'S GONE TO HILO
+
+This beautiful tune was very popular. I have chosen the version sung
+to me by Mr. George Vickers, although in the first chorus it differs
+somewhat from the version I learnt as a boy:
+
+[Music illustration: Away down Hilo etc.]
+
+It will be seen how closely the above resembles the version given by
+Whall on page 74. (It will be noted that he entitled it '_John's_ gone
+to Hilo.') I give Mr. Vickers's verses about 'The Victory' and
+'Trafalgar,' as I had never heard them sung by any other seaman. I
+have omitted the endless couplets containing the names of places to
+which Tommy is supposed to have travelled. As Capt. Whall says: 'A
+good shantyman would take Johnny all round the world to ports with
+three syllables, Montreal, Rio Grande Newfoundland, or any such as
+might occur to him.'
+
+
+25. WHISKY JOHNNY
+
+This Bacchanalian chant was a prime favourite. Every sailor knew it,
+and every collection includes some version of it.
+
+
+26. BONEY WAS A WARRIOR
+
+I never met a seaman who has not hoisted topsails to this shanty. Why
+Jack should have made a hero of Boney (he frequently pronounced it
+'Bonny') is a mystery, except perhaps that, as a sailor, he realized
+the true desolation of imprisonment on a sea-girt island, and his
+sympathies went out to the lonely exile accordingly. Or it may have
+been the natural liking of the Briton for any enemy who proved himself
+a 'bonny fechter.'
+
+
+27. JOHNNY BOKER
+
+This popular shanty was sometimes used for bunting-up a sail, but more
+usually for 'sweating-up.' Although I have allowed the last note its
+full musical value, it was not prolonged in this manner aboard ship.
+As it coincided with the pull, it usually sounded more like a staccato
+grunt.
+
+
+28. HAUL AWAY, JOE
+
+The major version of this shanty (which appears in Part II) was more
+general in the last days of the sailing ship; but this minor version
+(certainly the most beautiful of them) is the one which I used to hear
+on the Tyne. The oldest of my sailor relatives never sang any other.
+This inclines me to the belief that it is the earlier version. The
+verses extemporized to this shanty were endless, but those concerning
+the Nigger Girl and King Louis never seem to have been omitted. As in
+No. 27, I have allowed the last note its full musical value, but
+aboard ship it was sung in the same manner as No. 27.
+
+
+29. WE'LL HAUL THE BOWLIN'
+
+This was the most popular shanty for 'sweating-up.' There are many
+variants of it. The present version I learnt from Capt. John Runciman.
+In this shanty no attempt was ever made to sing the last word. It was
+always shouted.
+
+
+30. PADDY DOYLE'S BOOTS
+
+This shanty differs from all others, as (_a_) it was sung _tutti_
+throughout; (_b_) it had only one verse, which was sung over and over
+again; and (_c_) it was used for one operation and one operation only,
+viz. bunting up the foresail or mainsail in furling. In this operation
+the canvas of the sail was folded intensively until it formed a smooth
+conical bundle. This was called a bunt, and a strong collective effort
+(at the word 'boots') was required to get it on to the yard.
+
+Although the same verse was sung over and over again, very
+occasionally a different text would be substituted, which was treated
+in the same manner. Capt. Whall gives two alternatives, which were
+sometimes used:
+
+     'We'll all drink brandy and gin,'
+
+and--
+
+     'We'll all shave under the chin.'
+
+Mr. Morley Roberts also told me that a variant in his ship was--
+
+     'We'll all throw dirt at the cook.'

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<p><span class="dropcap">I</span><b>T</b> is sometimes difficult for old sailors like myself to realize that
+these fine shanty tunes&#8212;so fascinating to the musician, and which no
+sailor can hear without emotion&#8212;died out with the sailing vessel, and
+now belong to a chapter of maritime history that is definitely closed.
+They will never more be heard on the face of the waters, but it is
+well that they should be preserved with reverent care, as befits a
+legacy from the generation of seamen that came to an end with the
+stately vessels they manned with such skill and resource.</p>
+
+<p>In speech, the old-time 'shellback' was notoriously reticent&#8212;almost
+inarticulate; but in song he found self-expression, and all the
+romance and poetry of the sea are breathed into his shanties, where
+simple childlike sentimentality alternates with the Rabelaisian humour
+of the grown man. Whatever landsmen may think about shanty words&#8212;with
+their cheerful inconsequence, or light-hearted coarseness&#8212;there can
+be no two opinions about the tunes, which, as folk-music, are a
+national asset.</p>
+
+<p>I know, of course, that several shanty collections are in the market,
+but as a sailor I am bound to say that only one&#8212;Capt. W.B. Whall's
+'Sea Songs, Ships, and Shanties'&#8212;can be regarded as authoritative.
+Only a portion of Capt. Whall's delightful book is devoted to
+shanties, of which he prints the melodies only (without
+accompaniment); and of these he does not profess to give more than
+those he himself learnt at sea. I am glad, therefore, to welcome
+Messrs. Curwen's project of a wide and representative collection. Dr.
+Terry's qualifications as editor are exceptional, since he was reared
+in an environment of nineteenth-century seamen, and is the only
+landsman I have met who is able to render shanties as the old seamen
+did. I am not musician enough to criticize his pianoforte
+accompaniments, but I can vouch for the authenticity of the <i>melodies</i>
+as he presents them, untampered with in any way.</p>

+<h2><a name="INTRODUCTION" id="INTRODUCTION"></a>INTRODUCTION</h2>
+
+
+<h3>APOLOGIA</h3>
+
+<p><span class="dropcap">I</span><b>T</b> may reasonably be asked by what authority a mere landsman publishes
+a book on a nautical subject. I may, therefore, plead in extenuation
+that I have all my life been closely connected with seafaring matters,
+especially during childhood and youth, and have literally 'grown up
+with' shanties. My maternal ancestors followed the sea as far back as
+the family history can be traced, and sailor uncles and grand-uncles
+have sung shanties to me from my childhood upwards. During boyhood I
+was constantly about amongst ships, and had learnt at first hand all
+the popular shanties before any collection of them appeared in print.
+I have in later years collected them from all manner of sailors,
+chiefly at Northumbrian sources. I have collated these later versions
+with those which I learnt at first hand as a boy from sailor
+relatives, and also aboard ship. And lastly, I lived for some years in
+the West Indies, one of the few remaining spots where shanties may
+still be heard, where my chief recreation was cruising round the
+islands in my little ketch. In addition to hearing them in West Indian
+seaports, aboard Yankee sailing ships and sugar droghers, I also heard
+them sung constantly on shore in Antigua under rather curious
+conditions. West Indian negro shanties are movable wooden huts, and
+when a family wishes to change its <i>venue</i> it does so in the following
+manner: The shanty is levered up on to a low platform on wheels, to
+which two very long ropes are attached. The ropes are manned by as
+many hands as their length will admit. A 'shantyman' mounts the roof
+of the hut and sits astride it. He sings a song which has a chorus,
+and is an exact musical parallel of a seaman's 'pull-and-haul' shanty.
+The crowd below sings the chorus, giving a pull on the rope at the
+required points in the music, just as sailors did when hauling at sea.
+Each pull on the rope draws the hut a short distance forward, and the
+process is continued till its final resting-place is reached, when the
+shantyman descends from the roof. The hut is then levered off the
+platform on to <i>terra firma</i> and fixed in its required position.</p>
+
+
+<h3>WHAT A SHANTY IS</h3>
+
+<p>Shanties were labour songs sung by sailors of the merchant service
+only while at work, and never by way of recreation. Moreover&#8212;at
+least, in the nineteenth century&#8212;they were never used aboard
+men-o'-war, where all orders were carried out in silence to the pipe
+of the bo'sun's whistle.</p>
+
+<p>Before the days of factories and machinery, all forms of work were
+literally <i>manual</i> labour, and all the world over the labourer,
+obeying a primitive instinct, sang at his toil: the harvester with his
+sickle, the weaver at the loom, the spinner at the wheel. Long after
+machinery had driven the labour-song from the land it survived at sea
+in the form of shanties, since all work aboard a sailing vessel was
+performed by hand.</p>
+
+<p>The advent of screw steamers sounded the death-knell of the shanty.
+Aboard the steamer there were practically no sails to be manipulated;
+the donkey-engine and steam winch supplanted the hand-worked windlass
+and capstan. By the end of the seventies steam had driven the sailing
+ship from the seas. A number of sailing vessels lingered on through
+the eighties, but they retained little of the corporate pride and
+splendour that was once theirs. The old spirit was gone never to
+return.</p>
+
+<p>When the sailing ship ruled the waters and the shanty was a living
+thing no one appears to have paid heed to it. To the landsman of those
+days&#8212;before folk-song hunting had begun&#8212;the haunting beauty of the
+tunes would appear to have made no appeal. This may be partly
+accounted for by the fact that he would never be likely to hear the
+sailor sing them ashore, and partly because of the Rabelaisian
+character of the words to which they were sung aboard ship. We had
+very prim notions of propriety in those days, and were apt to overlook
+the beauty of the melodies, and to speak of shanties in bulk as 'low
+vulgar songs.' Be that as it may, it was not until the late
+eighties&#8212;when the shanty was beginning to die out with the sailing
+ship&#8212;that any attempt was made to form a collection.</p>
+
+
+<h3>ORIGIN OF THE WORD</h3>
+
+<p>Here let me enter my protest against the literary preciosity which
+derives the word from (<i>un</i>) <i>chant&#233;</i> and spells it 'chanty'&#8212;in other
+words, against the gratuitous assumption that unlettered British
+sailors derived one of the commonest words in their vocabulary from a
+foreign source. The result of this 'literary' spelling is that
+ninety-nine landsmen out of every hundred, instead of pronouncing the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vi" id="Page_vi">[Pg&#160;vi]</a></span>
+word 'shanty,' rhyming with 'scanty' (<i>as every sailor did</i>),
+pronounce it 'tchahnty,' rhyming with 'auntie,' thereby courting the
+amusement or contempt of every seaman. The vogue of '<i>ch</i>anty' was
+apparently created by the late W.E. Henley, a fine poet, a great man
+of letters, a profound admirer of shanty tunes, but entirely
+unacquainted with nautical affairs. Kipling and other landsmen have
+given additional currency to the spelling. The 'literary' sailors,
+Clark Russell and Frank Bullen, have also spelt it '<i>ch</i>anty,' but
+their reason is obvious. The modest seaman always bowed before the
+landsman's presumed superiority in 'book-larnin'.' What more natural
+than that Russell and Bullen, obsessed by so ancient a tradition,
+should accept uncritically the landsman's spelling. But educated
+sailors devoid of 'literary' pretensions have always written the word
+as it was pronounced. To my mind the strongest argument against the
+literary landsman's derivation of the word is that the British sailor
+cultivated the supremest contempt for everything French, and would be
+the last person to label such a definitely British practice as
+shanty-singing with a French title. If there had been such a thing in
+French ships as a labour-song bearing such a far-fetched title as
+(<i>un</i>) <i>chant&#233;</i>, there might have been a remote possibility of the
+British sailor adopting the French term in a spirit of sport or
+derision, but there is no evidence that any such practice, or any such
+term, achieved any vogue in French ships. As a matter of fact, the
+Oxford Dictionary (which prints it '<i>sh</i>anty') states that the word
+never found its way into print until 1869.</p>
+
+<p>The truth is that, however plausible the French derivation theory may
+sound, it is after all pure speculation&#8212;and a landsman's speculation
+at that&#8212;unsupported by a shred of concrete evidence.</p>
+
+<p>If I wished to advance another theory more plausible still, and
+equally unconvincing, I might urge that the word was derived from the
+negro hut-removals already mentioned. Here, at least, we have a very
+ancient custom, which would be familiar to British seamen visiting
+West Indian seaports. The object moved was a <i>shanty</i>; the music
+accompanying the operation was called, by the negroes, a <i>shanty</i>
+tune; its musical form (solo and chorus) was identical with the sailor
+<i>shanty</i>; the pulls on the rope followed the same method which
+obtained at sea; the soloist was called a <i>shanty</i>man; like the
+shantyman at sea he did no work, but merely extemporized verses to
+which the workers at the ropes supplied the chorus; and finally, the
+negroes still pronounce the word itself exactly as the seaman did.</p>
+
+<p>I am quite aware of the flaws in the above argument, but at least it
+shows a manual labour act performed both afloat and ashore under
+precisely similar conditions as to (<i>a</i>) its nature, (<i>b</i>) its musical
+setting; called by the same name, <i>with the same pronunciation</i> in
+each case; and lastly, connected, in one case, with an actual hut or
+<i>shanty</i>. Against this concrete argument we have a landsman's abstract
+speculation, which (<i>a</i>) begs the whole question, and (<i>b</i>) which was
+never heard of until a few years before the disappearance of the
+sailing ship. I do not assert that the negroid derivation is
+conclusive, but that from (<i>un</i>) <i>chant&#233;</i> will not bear serious
+inspection.</p>
+
+
+<h3>BIBLIOGRAPHY</h3>
+
+<p>The material under this head is very scanty. Nothing of any
+consequence was written before the eighties, when W.L. Alden, in
+<i>Harper's Magazine</i>, and James Runciman, in the <i>St. James's Gazette</i>
+and other papers, wrote articles on the subject with musical
+quotations. Since then several collections have appeared:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot"><p>1887. <i>Sailors' Songs or Chanties</i>, the words by Frederick
+J. Davis, R.N.R., the music composed and arranged upon
+traditional sailor airs by Ferris Tozer, Mus. D. Oxon.</p>
+
+<p>1888. <i>The Music of the Waters</i>, by Laura Alexandrine Smith.</p>
+
+<p>1910 and 1912. <i>Sea Songs, Ships, and Shanties</i>, by Capt.
+W.B. Whall.</p>
+
+<p>1912. <i>Songs of Sea Labour</i>, by Frank T. Bullen and W.F.
+Arnold.</p>
+
+<p>1914. <i>English Folk Chanteys</i> with Pianoforte Accompaniment,
+collected by Cecil J. Sharp.</p></div>
+
+<p>Of all these collections Capt. Whall's is the only one which a sailor
+could accept as authoritative. Capt. Whall unfortunately only gives
+the twenty-eight shanties which he himself learnt at sea. But to any
+one who has heard them sung aboard the old sailing ships, his versions
+ring true, and have a bite and a snap that is lacking in those
+published by mere collectors.</p>
+
+<p>Davis and Tozer's book has had a great vogue, as it was for many years
+the only one on the market. But the statement that the music is
+'composed and arranged on traditional sailor airs' rules it out of
+court in the eyes of seamen, since (<i>a</i>) a sailor song is not a
+shanty, and (<i>b</i>) to 'compose and arrange on traditional airs' is to
+destroy the traditional form.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vii" id="Page_vii">[Pg&#160;vii]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Miss Smith's book is a thick volume into which was tumbled
+indiscriminately and uncritically a collection of all sorts of tunes
+from all sorts of countries which had any connection with seas, lakes,
+rivers, or their geographical equivalents. Scientific folk-song
+collecting was not understood in those days, and consequently all was
+fish that came to the authoress's net. Sailor shanties and landsmen's
+nautical effusions were jumbled together higgledy-piggledy, along with
+'Full Fathom Five' and the 'Eton Boating Song.' But this lack of
+discrimination, pardonable in those days, was not so serious as the
+inability to write the tunes down correctly. So long as they were
+copied from other song-books they were not so bad, but when it came to
+taking them down from the seamen's singing the results were
+deplorable. Had the authoress been able to give us correct versions of
+the shanties her collection would have been a valuable one. The book
+contains altogether about thirty-two shanties collected from sailors
+in the Tyne seaports. Since both Miss Smith and myself hail from
+Newcastle, her 'hunting ground' for shanties was also mine, and I am
+consequently in a position to assess the importance or unimportance of
+her work. I may, therefore, say that although hardly a single shanty
+is noted down correctly, I can see clearly&#8212;having myself noted the
+same tunes in the same district&#8212;what she intended to convey, and
+furthermore can vouch for the accuracy of some of the words which were
+common to north country sailors, and which have not appeared in other
+collections.</p>
+
+<p>If I have been obliged to criticize Miss Smith's book it is not
+because I wish to disparage a well-intentioned effort, but because I
+constantly hear <i>The Music of the Waters</i> quoted as an authoritative
+work on sailor shanties; and since the shanties in it were all
+collected in the district where I spent boyhood and youth, I am
+familiar with all of them, and can state definitely that they are in
+no sense authoritative. I should like, however, to pay my tribute of
+respect to Miss Smith's industry, and to her enterprise in calling
+attention to tunes that then seemed in a fair way to disappear.</p>
+
+<p>Bullen and Arnold's book ought to have been a valuable contribution to
+shanty literature, as Bullen certainly knew his shanties, and used to
+sing them capitally. Unfortunately his musical collaborator does not
+appear to have been gifted with the faculty of taking down authentic
+versions from his singing. He seems to have had difficulty in
+differentiating between long measured notes and unmeasured pauses;
+between the respective meanings of three-four and six-eight time;
+between modal and modern tunes; and between the cases where irregular
+barring was or was not required. Apart from the amateur nature of the
+harmonies, the book exhibits such strange unacquaintance with the
+rudiments of musical notation as the following (p. 25):</p>

+
+<h3>SHANTY FORMS</h3>
+
+<p>Shanties may be roughly divided, as regards their use, into two
+classes: (<i>a</i>) Hauling shanties, and (<i>b</i>) Windlass and Capstan. The
+former class accompanied the setting of the sails, and the latter the
+weighing of the anchor, or 'warping her in' to the wharf, etc. Capstan
+shanties were also used for pumping ship. A few shanties were
+'interchangeable,' i.e. they were used for both halliards and capstan.
+The subdivisions of each class are interesting, and the nature of the
+work involving 'walk away,' 'stamp and go,' 'sweating her up,' 'hand
+over hand,' and other types of shanty would make<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[Pg&#160;viii]</a></span> good reading; but
+nautical details, however fascinating, must be economized in a musical
+publication.</p>
+
+<p>Capstan shanties are readily distinguishable by their music. The
+operation of walking round the capstan (pushing the capstan bars in
+front of them) was continuous and not intermittent. Both tune and
+chorus were, as a rule, longer than those of the hauling shanty, and
+there was much greater variety of rhythm. Popular songs, if they had a
+chorus or refrain, could be, and were, effectively employed for
+windlass and capstan work.</p>
+
+<p>Hauling shanties were usually shorter than capstan ones, and are of
+two types: (<i>a</i>) those used for 'the long hoist' and (<i>b</i>) those
+required for 'the short pull' or 'sweating-up.' Americans called these
+operations the 'long' and the 'short drag.' The former was used when
+beginning to hoist sails, when the gear would naturally be slack and
+moderately easy to manipulate. It had two short choruses, with a
+double pull in each. In the following example, the pulls are marked
+<img src="images/accent.png" width="14" height="15" alt="music accent symbol" title="music accent symbol" />.</p>
+

+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music02.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>It is easy to see how effective a collective pull at each of these
+points would be, while the short intervals of solo would give time for
+shifting the hands on the rope and making ready for the next combined
+effort.</p>
+
+<p>When the sail was fully hoisted and the gear taut, a much stronger
+pull was necessary in order to make everything fast, so the shanty was
+then changed for a 'sweating-up' one, in which there was only one
+short chorus and one very strong pull:</p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music03.png" width="507" height="204" alt="Haul the Bowlin'" title="Haul the Bowlin'" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music03.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>So much effort was now required on the pull that it was difficult to
+sing a musical note at that point. The last word was therefore usually
+shouted.</p>
+
+
+<h3>SOURCES OF TUNES</h3>
+
+<p>The sailor travelled in many lands, and in his shanties there are
+distinct traces of the nationalities of the countries he visited.
+Without doubt a number of them came from American negro sources. The
+songs heard on Venetian gondolas must have had their effect, as many
+examples show. There are also distinct traces of folk-songs which the
+sailor would have learnt ashore in his native fishing village, and the
+more familiar Christy Minstrel song was frequently pressed into the
+service. As an old sailor once said to me: 'You can make anything into
+a shanty.'</p>
+
+<p>Like all traditional tunes, some shanties are in the ancient modes,
+and others in the modern major and minor keys. It is the habit of the
+'folk-songer' (I am not alluding to our recognized folk-song experts)
+to find 'modes' in every traditional tune. It will suffice, therefore,
+to say that shanties follow the course of all other traditional music.
+Many are modern, and easily recognizable as such. Others are modal in
+character, such as <a href="#What_shall_we_do_with_the_drunken_sailor">'What shall we do with the drunken sailor?'</a> No. 14,
+and <a href="#The_Hogs-eye_Man">'The Hog's-Eye Man,'</a> No. 11. Others fulfil to a certain extent
+modal conditions, but are nevertheless in keys, e.g. <a href="#Stormalong_John">'Stormalong
+John,'</a> No. 10.</p>
+
+<p>Like many other folk-songs, certain shanties&#8212;originally, no doubt, in
+a mode&#8212;were, by the insertion of leading notes, converted into the
+minor key. There was also the tendency on the part of the modern
+sailor to turn his minor key into a major one. I sometimes find
+sailors singing in the major, nowadays, tunes which the very old men
+of my boyhood used to sing in the minor. A case in point is
+<a href="#Haul_away_Joe">'Haul
+away, Joe,'</a> No. 28. Miss Smith is correct in giving it in the minor
+form which once obtained on the Tyne, and I am inclined to hazard the
+opinion that that was the original form and not, as now, the
+following:</p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music04.png" width="506" height="159" alt="Haul away Joe" title="Haul away Joe" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music04.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>In later times I have also heard
+<a href="#What_shall_we_do_with_the_drunken_sailor">'The Drunken Sailor'</a> (a distinctly
+modal tune) sung in the major as follows:<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_ix" id="Page_ix">[Pg&#160;ix]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music05.png" width="503" height="156" alt="The Drunken Sailor" title="The Drunken Sailor" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music05.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>I have generally found that these perversions of the tunes are due to
+sailors who took to the sea as young men in the last days of the
+sailing ship, and consequently did not imbibe to the full the old
+traditions. With the intolerance of youth they assumed that the modal
+turn given to a shanty by the older sailor was the mark of ignorance,
+since it did not square with their ideas of a major or minor key. This
+experience is common to all folk-tune collectors.</p>
+
+<p>Other characteristics, for example: (<i>a</i>) different words to the same
+melody; (<i>b</i>) different melodies to the same or similar words, need
+not be enlarged upon here, as they will be self-evident when a
+definitive collection is published.</p>
+
+<p>Of the usual troubles incidental to folk-song collecting it is
+unnecessary to speak. But the collection of shanties involves
+difficulties of a special kind. In taking down a folk-song from a
+rustic, one's chief difficulty is surmounted when one has broken down
+his shyness and induced him to sing. There is nothing for him to do
+then but get on with the song. Shanties, however, being labour songs,
+one is 'up against' the strong psychological connection between the
+song and its manual acts. Two illustrations will explain what I mean.</p>
+
+<p>A friend of mine who lives in Kerry wished a collector to hear some of
+the traditional keening, and an old woman with the reputation of being
+the best keener in the district, when brought to the house to sing the
+funeral chants, made several attempts and then replied in a distressed
+manner: 'I can't do it; there's no body,' This did not mean that she
+was unwilling to keen in the absence of a corpse, but that she was
+unable to do so. Just before giving up in despair my friend was seized
+with a brain wave, and asked her if it would suffice for him to lie
+down on the floor and personate the corpse. When he had done this the
+old woman found herself able to get on with the keening.</p>
+
+<p>An incident related to me quite casually by Sir Walter Runciman throws
+a similar light on the inseparability of a shanty and its labour. He
+described how one evening several north country ships happened to be
+lying in a certain port. All the officers and crews were ashore,
+leaving only the apprentices aboard, some of whom, as he remarked,
+were 'very keen on shanties,' and their suggestion of passing away the
+time by singing some was received with enthusiasm. The whole party of
+about thirty apprentices at once collected themselves aboard one
+vessel, sheeted home the main topsail, and commenced to haul it up to
+the tune of <a href="#Boney_was_a_warrior">'Boney was a warrior,'</a> changing to
+<a href="#Well_haul_the_bowlin">'Haul the Bowlin''</a> for
+'sweating-up.' In the enthusiasm of their singing, and the absence of
+any officer to call ''Vast hauling,' they continued operations until
+they broke the topsail yard in two, when the sight of the wreckage and
+the fear of consequences brought the singing to an abrupt conclusion.
+In my then ignorance I naturally asked: 'Why couldn't you have sung
+shanties without hoisting the topsail?' and the reply was: 'How could
+we sing a shanty without having our hands on the rope?' Here we have
+the whole psychology of the labour-song: the old woman could not keen
+without the 'body,' and the young apprentices could not sing shanties
+apart from the work to which they belonged. The only truly
+satisfactory results which I ever get nowadays from an old sailor are
+when he has been stimulated by conversation to become reminiscent, and
+croons his shanties almost subconsciously. Whenever I find a sailor
+willing to declaim shanties in the style of a song I begin to be a
+little suspicious of his seamanship. In one of the journals of the
+Folk-Song Society there is an account of a sailor who formed a little
+party of seafaring men to give public performances of shanties on the
+concert platform. No doubt this was an interesting experience for the
+listeners, but that a self-conscious performance such as this could
+represent the old shanty singing I find it difficult to believe. Of
+course I have had sailors sing shanties to me in a fine declamatory
+manner, but I usually found one of three things to be the case: the
+man was a 'sea lawyer,' or had not done much deep-sea sailing; or his
+seamanship only dated from the decline of the sailing vessel.</p>
+
+<p>It is doubtless interesting to the folk-songer to see in print
+shanties taken down from an individual sailor with his individual
+melodic twirls and twiddles. But since no two sailors ever sing the
+same shanty quite in the same manner, there must necessarily be some
+means of getting at the tune, unhampered by these individual
+idiosyncrasies, which are quite a different thing from what folk-song
+students recognize as 'variants.' The power to discriminate can only
+be acquired by familiarity with the shanty as it was in its palmy
+days. The collector who comes upon the scene at this late time of day
+must necessarily be at a disadvantage. The ordinary methods which he
+would apply to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_x" id="Page_x">[Pg&#160;x]</a></span> a folk-song break down in the case of a labour-song.
+Manual actions were the soul of the shanty; eliminate these and you
+have only the skeleton of what was once a living thing. It is quite
+possible, I know, to push this line of argument too far, but every one
+who knows anything about seamanship must feel that a shanty nowadays
+cannot be other than a pale reflection of what it once was.</p>
+
+<p>That is why I deprecate the spurious authenticity conferred by print
+upon isolated versions of shanties sung by individual old men. When
+the originals are available it seems to me pedantic and academic to
+put into print the comic mispronunciations of well-known words by old
+and uneducated seamen.</p>
+
+<p>And this brings me to the last difficulty which confronts the
+collector with no previous knowledge of shanties. As a mere matter of
+dates, any sailors now remaining from sailing ship days must
+necessarily be very old men. I have found that their octogenarian
+memories are not always to be trusted. On one occasion an old man sang
+quite glibly a tune which was in reality a <i>pasticcio</i> of three
+separate shanties all known to me. I have seen similar results in
+print, since the collector arrived too late upon the scene to be able
+to detect the tricks which an old man's memory played him.</p>
+
+<p>One final remark about collectors which has an important bearing upon
+the value of their work. There were two classes of sailing vessels
+that sailed from English ports&#8212;the coaster or the mere collier that
+plied between the Tyne or Severn and Boulogne, and the Southspainer,
+under which term was comprised all deep-sea vessels. On the collier or
+short-voyage vessel the crew was necessarily a small one, and the
+shanty was more or less of a makeshift, adapted to the capacity of the
+limited numbers of the crew. Purely commercial reasons precluded the
+engagement of any shantyman specially distinguished for his musical
+attainments. Consequently, so far as the shanty was concerned, 'any
+old thing would do.' On the Southspainer, however, things were very
+different. The shantyman was usually a person of considerable musical
+importance, who sang his songs in a more or less finished manner; his
+melodies were clean, clear-cut things, without any of the
+folk-songer's quavers and wobbles. I heard them in the 'seventies and
+'eighties before the sailing-ship had vanished, consequently I give
+them as they were then sung&#8212;undisfigured and unobscured by the
+mixture of twirls, quavers, and hiccups one hears from octogenarian
+mariners who attempt them to-day.</p>
+
+
+<h3>METHOD OF SINGING</h3>
+
+<p>So far as the music was concerned, a shanty was a song with a chorus.
+The song was rendered by one singer, called the shantyman, and the
+chorus by the sailors who performed their work in time with the music.
+So far as the words were concerned there was usually a stereotyped
+opening of one or more verses. For all succeeding verses the shantyman
+improvized words, and his topics were many and varied, the most
+appreciated naturally being personal allusions to the crew and
+officers, sarcastic criticism on the quality of the food, wistful
+references to the good time coming on shore, etc. There was no need
+for any connection or relevancy between one verse or another, nor were
+rhymes required. The main thing that mattered was that the rhythm
+should be preserved and that the words should be such as would keep
+the workers merry or interested. Once the stereotyped verses were got
+rid of and the improvization began, things became so intimate and
+personal as to be unprintable. It was a curious fact that such shanty
+words as lent themselves most to impropriety were wedded to tunes
+either of fine virility or haunting sweetness.</p>
+
+<p>For 'pull-and-haul' shanties the shantyman took up his position near
+the workers and announced the shanty, sometimes by singing the first
+line. This established the tune to which they were to supply the
+chorus. For capstan shanties he usually did the same. He frequently
+sat on the capstan, but so far as I can learn he more usually took up
+his position on or against the knightheads. The importance of the
+shantyman could not be overestimated. A good shantyman with a pretty
+wit was worth his weight in gold. He was a privileged person, and was
+excused all work save light or odd jobs.</p>
+
+
+<h3>THE WORDS OF SHANTIES</h3>
+
+<p>I have already noted the shanties which were derived from popular
+songs, also the type which contained a definite narrative. Except
+where a popular song was adapted, the form was usually rhymed or more
+often unrhymed couplets. The topics were many and varied, but the
+chief ones were: (1) popular heroes such as Napoleon, and 'Santy
+Anna.' That the British sailor of the eighteenth century should hate
+every Frenchman and yet make a hero of Bonaparte is one of the
+mysteries which has never been explained. Another mystery is the
+fascination which Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1795-1876) exercised
+over the sailor. He was one of the many Mexican 'Presidents' and was
+defeated<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xi" id="Page_xi">[Pg&#160;xi]</a></span> by the American General Taylor in 1847. That did not prevent
+the British sailor presenting him in the light of an invariable victor
+until he was led out to be shot (he really died a natural death) by
+persons unknown. (2) The sailor had mythical heroes too, e.g. 'Ranzo,'
+already mentioned, and 'Stormy,' who was the theme of many shanties.
+No sailor could ever give the least explanation of them, and so they
+remain the last echoes of long forgotten sagas. (3) High-sounding,
+poetic, or mysterious words, such as 'Lowlands,' 'Shenandoah,'
+'Rolling river,' 'Hilo,' 'Mobile Bay,' 'Rio Grande,' had a great
+fascination, as their constant recurrence in many shanties shows. (4)
+The sailor also sang much of famous ships, such as 'The Flying Cloud,'
+'The Henry Clay,' or 'The Victory,' and famous lines, such as 'The
+Black Ball.' Even famous shipowners were celebrated in song, as
+witness 'Mr. John Tapscott,' in <a href="#Were_all_bound_to_go">'We're all bound to go.'</a> (5) Love
+affairs, in which 'Lizer Lee' and other damsels constantly figured,
+were an endless topic. (6) But chiefly did Jack sing of affairs
+connected with his ship. He never sang of 'the rolling main,' 'the
+foaming billows,' 'the storm clouds,' etc. These are the
+stock-in-trade of the landsman; they were too real for the sailor to
+sing about. He had the instinct of the primitive man which forbids
+mention of natural forces of evil omen. But intimate or humorous
+matters such as the failings of his officers, the quality of the food,
+the rate of pay, or other grievances were treated with vigour and
+emphasis. Like the Britisher of to-day, he would put up with any
+hardship so long as he were permitted to grouse about it. The
+shantyman gave humorous expression to this grousing, which deprived it
+of the element of sulks. Steam let off in this way was a wholesome
+preventive of mutiny.</p>
+
+<p>The choruses were usually jingles, with no relevance save maintenance
+of the rhythm.</p>
+
+<p>One feature of the words may be noted. The sailor's instinct for
+romance was so strong that in his choruses, at least, no matter how
+'hair-curling' the solo might be, he always took the crude edge off
+the concrete and presented it as an abstraction if possible. For
+example, he knew perfectly well that one meaning of 'to blow' was to
+knock or kick. He knew that discipline in Yankee packets was
+maintained by corporeal methods, so much so that the Mates, to whom
+the function of knocking the 'packet rats' about was delegated, were
+termed first, second, and third 'blowers,' or strikers, and in the
+shanty he sang 'Blow the man down.' 'Knock' or 'kick,' as I have
+recently seen in a printed collection, was too crudely realistic for
+him. In like manner the humorous title, 'Hog's-eye,' veiled the coarse
+intimacy of the term which it represented. And that is where, when
+collecting shanties from the 'longshore' mariner of to-day, I find
+him, if he is uneducated, so tiresome. He not only wants to explain to
+me as a landsman the exact meaning (which I know already) of terms
+which the old type of sailor, with his natural delicacy, avoided
+discussing, but he tries where possible to work them into his shanty,
+a thing the sailor of old time never did. So that when one sees in
+print expressions which sailors did not use, it is presumptive
+evidence that the collector has been imposed upon by a salt of the
+'sea lawyer' type.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps I ought to make this point clearer. Folk-song collecting was
+once an artistic pursuit. Now it has become a flourishing industry of
+high commercial value. From the commercial point of view it is
+essential that results should be printed and circulated as widely as
+possible. Some knowledge of seamanship is an absolute necessity where
+folk-shanties are concerned. The mere collector nowadays does not
+possess that knowledge; it is confined to those who have had practical
+experience of the sea, but who will never print their experiences. The
+mere collector <i>must</i> print his versions. What is unprinted must
+remain unknown; what is printed is therefore accepted as
+authoritative, however misleading it may be. Many highly educated men,
+of whom Captain Whall is the type, have followed the sea. It is from
+them that the only really trustworthy information is forthcoming. But
+so far as I can judge, it is uneducated men who appear to sing to
+collectors nowadays, and I have seen many a quiet smile on the lips of
+the educated sailor when he is confronted with printed versions of the
+uneducated seaman's performances. For example, one of the best known
+of all shanties is <a href="#The_Hogs-eye_Man">'The Hog's-eye man'</a>; I have seen this entitled 'The
+Hog-eyed man,' and even 'The Ox-eyed man.' Every old sailor knew the
+meaning of the term. Whall and Bullen, who were both sailors, use the
+correct expression, 'Hog-eye.' The majority of sailors of my
+acquaintance called it 'Hog's-eye.' Did decency permit I could show
+conclusively how Whall and Bullen are right and the mere collector
+wrong. It must suffice, however, for me to say that the term
+'Hog's-eye' or 'Hog-eye' had nothing whatever to do with the optic of
+the 'man' who was sung about. I could multiply instances, but this one
+is typical and must suffice.</p>
+
+<p>We hear a great deal of the coarseness and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xii" id="Page_xii">[Pg&#160;xii]</a></span> even lewdness of the
+shanty, but I could wish a little more stress were laid on the
+sailor's natural delicacy. Jack was always a gentleman in feeling.
+Granted his drinking, cursing, and amours&#8212;but were not these, until
+Victorian times, the hall-mark of every gentleman ashore? The
+Rabelaisian jokes of the shantyman were solos, the sound of which
+would not travel far beyond the little knot of workers who chuckled
+over them. The choruses&#8212;shouted out by the whole working party&#8212;would
+be heard all over the ship and even penetrate ashore if she were in
+port. Hence, in not a single instance do the choruses of any shanty
+contain a coarse expression.</p>
+
+
+<h3>EDITORIAL METHODS</h3>
+
+<p>As regards the tunes, I have adhered to the principle of giving each
+one as it was sung by some individual singer. This method has not been
+applied to the words. Consequently the verses of any given shanty may
+have derived from any number of singers. Since there was no connection
+or relevancy between the different verses of a shanty, the only
+principle I have adhered to is that whatever verses are set down
+should have been sung to me at some time or other by some sailor or
+other.</p>
+
+<p>Of course I have had to camouflage many unprintable expressions, and
+old sailors will readily recognize where this has been done. Sometimes
+a whole verse (after the first line) has needed camouflage, and the
+method adopted is best expressed as follows:</p>
+
+<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="">
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td>
+There was a young lady of Gloucester<br />
+Who couldn't eat salt with her egg,<br />
+And when she sat down<br />
+She could never get up,<br />
+And so the poor dog had none.<br />
+</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>As regards the accompaniments, I have been solely guided by the
+necessity of preserving the character of the melodies in all their
+vigour and vitality, and have tried, even in obviously modal tunes,
+not to obscure their breeziness by academic treatment.</p>

+<h2><a name="NOTES_ON_THE_SHANTIES" id="NOTES_ON_THE_SHANTIES"></a>NOTES ON THE SHANTIES</h2>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Billy_Boy">1. BILLY BOY</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is undoubtedly a coast song 'made into a shanty.' I heard it in
+Northumberland, both on shore and in ships, when I was a boy. The
+theme of a 'Boy Billy' seems common to folk-songs in different parts
+of the country. The tunes are different, and the words vary, but the
+topic is always the same: 'Billy' is asked where he has been all the
+day; he replies that he has been courting; he is then questioned as to
+the qualifications of his <i>inamorata</i> as a housewife. Dr.
+Vaughan-Williams's 'My Boy Billie' is in print and well known, as is
+also Mr. Cecil Sharp's 'My Boy Willie' ['English Folk-Songs,' vol. i,
+page 98]. I have also collected different versions in Warwickshire and
+Somerset. The version of line 1, page 3, bars 2 and 3, is older than
+the one given in my arrangement for male-voice chorus (Curwen Edition
+50572), so, upon consideration, I decided to give it here. There are
+many more verses, but they are not printable, nor do they readily lend
+themselves to camouflage. The tune has not appeared in print until
+now.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Bound_for_the_Rio_Grande">2. BOUND FOR THE RIO GRANDE</a></h3>
+
+<p>The variants of this noble tune are legion. But this version, which a
+sailor uncle taught me, has been selected, as I think it the most
+beautiful of all. I used to notice, even as a boy, how it seemed to
+inspire the shantyman to sentimental flights of <i>Heimweh</i> that at
+times came perilously near poetry. The words of the well-known song,
+'Where are you going to, my pretty maid?' were frequently sung to this
+shanty, and several sailors have told me that they had also used the
+words of the song known as 'The Fishes.' Capt. Whall gives 'The
+Fishes' on pages 96 and 97 of his book, and says that the words were,
+in his time, sometimes used to the tune of 'Blow the man down.'</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Good-bye_fare_ye_well">3. GOOD-BYE, FARE YE WELL</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is one of the best beloved of shanties. So strongly did its
+sentiment appeal to sailors that one never heard the shantyman
+extemporize a coarse verse to it. Whall prints a version, page 71.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Johnny_come_down_to_Hilo">4. JOHNNY COME DOWN TO HILO</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is clearly of negro origin. I learnt several variants of it, but
+for its present form I am indebted to Capt. W.J. Dowdy.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Clear_the_track_let_the_Bullgine_run">5. CLEAR THE TRACK, LET THE BULLGINE RUN</a></h3>
+
+<p>The tune was a favourite in Yankee Packets. It does not appear in
+Whall. 'Bullgine' was American negro slang for 'engine.' I picked up
+this version in boyhood from Blyth seamen.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Lowlands_away">6. LOWLANDS</a></h3>
+
+<p>For another version see Whall (page 80), who says it is of American
+origin and comes from the cotton ports of the old Southern States. It
+was well known to every sailor down to the time of the China Clippers.
+My version is that of Capt. John Runciman, who belonged to that
+period. I have seldom found it known to sailors who took to the sea
+after the early seventies. The tune was sung in very free time and
+with great solemnity. It is almost impossible to reproduce in print
+the elusive subtlety of this haunting melody. In North-country ships
+the shantyman used to make much of the theme of a dead lover appearing
+in the night. There were seldom any rhymes, and the air was
+indescribably touching when humoured by a good hand. A 'hoosier,' by
+the way, is a cotton stevedore. An interesting point about this shanty
+is that, whether by accident or design, it exhibits a rhythmic device
+commonly practised by medi&#230;val composers, known as <i>proportio
+sesquialtera</i>. Expressed in modern notation it would mean the
+interpolation of bars of three-four time in the course of a
+composition which was in six-eight time. The number of quavers would,
+of course, be the same in each bar; but the rhythm would be different.
+The barring here adopted does not show this.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Sally_Brown">7. SALLY BROWN</a></h3>
+
+<p>For another version of this universally known shanty see Whall, page
+64. Although its musical form is that of a halliard shanty, it was
+always used for the capstan. I never heard it used for any other
+purpose than heaving the anchor. The large-sized notes given in the
+last bar are those which most sailors sing to me nowadays; the small
+ones are those which I most frequently heard when a boy.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Santy_Anna">8. SANTY ANNA</a></h3>
+
+<p>This fine shanty was a great favourite, and in defiance of all history
+the sailor presents 'Santy Anna' in the light of an invariable victor.
+The truth is that Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xiv" id="Page_xiv">[Pg&#160;xiv]</a></span> (1795-1876) was the
+last President of Mexico before the annexation by America of
+California, Texas, and New Mexico. He defeated the Spaniards at
+Zampico, and held Vera Cruz against the French, but was badly beaten
+at Molina del Rey by the United States Army under General Taylor
+(1847). He was recalled to the Presidency in 1853, but overthrown in
+1855. He attempted to overturn the Republic in 1867; was captured and
+sentenced to death, but was pardoned on condition that he left the
+country. He retired to the United States until 1872, when a general
+amnesty allowed his return to Mexico. Like other Mexican Presidents,
+he lived a stormy life, but unlike most of them he died a natural
+death. Whall gives a version on page 89.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Shenandoah2">9. SHENANDOAH</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is one of the most famous of all shanties. I never met a sailor
+to whom it was unknown, nor have I ever found any two who sang it
+exactly alike. This version (sung to me by Capt. Robertson) is almost,
+but not quite, identical with the one I learnt as a boy. Shenandoah
+(English seamen usually pronounced it 'Shannandore') was a celebrated
+Indian chief after whom an American town is named. A branch of the
+Potomac river bears the same name. The tune was always sung with great
+feeling and in very free rhythm. Whall gives a version on page 1.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Stormalong_John">10. STORMALONG JOHN</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is one of the many shanties with 'Stormy' as their hero. Whatever
+other verses were extemporized, those relating to digging his grave
+with a silver spade, and lowering him down with a golden chain, were
+rarely omitted. Other favourite verses were:</p>
+
+<p class="blockquot">
+(<i>a</i>) I wish I was old Stormy's son.<br />
+(<i>b</i>) I'd build a ship a thousand ton.<br />
+</p>
+
+<p>Who 'Stormy' was is undiscoverable, but more than a dozen shanties
+mourn him.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#The_Hogs-eye_Man">11. THE HOG&#8217;S-EYE MAN</a></h3>
+
+<p>Of the numberless versions of this shanty I have chosen that of Capt.
+Robertson as being the most representative. Of the infinite number of
+verses to this fine tune hardly one is printable. There has been much
+speculation as to the origin of the title. As a boy my curiosity was
+piqued by reticence, evasion, or declarations of ignorance, whenever I
+asked the meaning of the term. It was only in later life that I learnt
+it from Mr. Morley Roberts. His explanation made it clear why every
+<i>sailor</i> called it either 'hog-eye' or 'hog's-eye,' and why only
+<i>landsmen</i> editors ever get the word wrong. One collector labels the
+shanty 'The hog-eyed man,' and another goes still further wide of the
+mark by calling it 'The ox-eyed man.' The remarks on this shanty in
+the <a href="#INTRODUCTION">Preface</a> will show the absurdity of both titles. That is all the
+explanation I am at liberty to give in print. Whall gives the shanty
+on page 118, his version differing but slightly from Capt.
+Robertson's.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#The_Wild_Goose_Shanty">12. THE WILD GOOSE SHANTY</a></h3>
+
+<p>This I learnt from Capt. John Runciman. Allusions to 'The Wild Goose
+Nation' occur in many shanties, but I never obtained any clue to the
+meaning (if any) of the term. The verse about 'huckleberry hunting'
+was rarely omitted, but I never heard that particular theme further
+developed. Whall gives another version (in six-eight time) on page
+131.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Were_all_bound_to_go">13. WE&#8217;RE ALL BOUND TO GO</a></h3>
+
+<p>I used to hear this tune constantly on the Tyne. It is one of the few
+shanties which preserved a definite narrative, but each port seems to
+have offered variants on the names of the ships that were 'bound for
+Amerikee.' 'Mr. Tapscott' was the head of a famous line of emigrant
+ships. The last word in verse 5 was always pronounced <i>male</i>. This has
+led to many shantymen treating it not as <i>meal</i>, but as the <i>mail</i>
+which the ship carried. As the shanty is full of Irish allusions, the
+probabilities are that the word was <i>meal</i>, to which the sailor gave
+what he considered to be the Irish pronunciation. Whenever I heard the
+shanty it was given with an attempt at Irish pronunciation throughout.
+Capt. Whall (page 79) gives additional colour to the supposition that
+this was a general practice, for his version of verse 6 runs:</p>
+
+<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="">

+
+<h3><a href="#What_shall_we_do_with_the_drunken_sailor">14. WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SAILOR?</a></h3>
+
+<p>This fine tune&#8212;in the first Mode&#8212;was always a great favourite.
+Although mostly used for windlass or capstan, Sir Walter Runciman
+tells me that he frequently sang to it for 'hand-over-hand' hauling.
+Whall gives it on page 107 under the title 'Early in the morning.' It
+is one of the few shanties that were sung in quick time.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Blow_my_bully_boys">15. BLOW, MY BULLY BOYS</a></h3>
+
+<p>This shanty has been included in every collection that I know of. (See
+Whall, page 91.)<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xv" id="Page_xv">[Pg&#160;xv]</a></span> Most of my sailor relatives sang the last line thus:</p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music06.png" width="460" height="78" alt="music" title="music" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music06.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>Spotless decks, and 'masts and yards that shone like silver,' were the
+distinguishing marks of a Yankee Packet, and this immaculate condition
+was the result of a terrible discipline, in which the belaying pin was
+a gruesome factor.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Blow_the_man_down">16. BLOW THE MAN DOWN</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is the shanty which is perhaps the best known among landsmen.
+'Winchester Street' is in South Shields, and in the old days was the
+aristocratic quarter where only persons of high distinction&#8212;such as
+shipowners, and 'Southspainer' skippers&#8212;lived. Whall gives the shanty
+on page 92.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Cheerly_men5">17. CHEER&#8217;LY, MEN</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is a very well-known shanty, and the variants of it are endless.
+This particular version was sung to me by Capt. R.W. Robertson. It
+differs but slightly from the version which I originally learnt from
+Sir Walter Runciman. Very few of the words were printable, and old
+sailors who read my version will no doubt chuckle over the somewhat
+pointless continuation of the verses concerning Kitty Carson and Polly
+Riddle. They will, of course, see the point of my having supplied a
+Chopinesque accompaniment to such a shanty.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Good_morning_ladies_all">18. GOOD MORNING, LADIES ALL</a></h3>
+
+<p>The title belongs to other shanties as well; but, so far as I know,
+this tune has never been printed until now. I learnt it from
+Northumbrian sailors when a very small boy, and have never heard of
+its use in any other than Blyth and Tyne ships. It may be a
+Northumbrian air, but from such knowledge as I have gleaned of
+Northumbrian folk-tunes, I incline to the conjecture that it may have
+been picked up in more southern latitudes by some Northumbrian seaman.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Hanging_Johnny">19. HANGING JOHNNY</a></h3>
+
+<p>This cheery riot of gore is wedded to the most plaintive of tunes, and
+is immortalized by Masefield in his 'Sailor's Garland.' Nowadays one
+occasionally meets unhumorous longshore sailormen who endeavour to
+temper its fury to the shorn landsman by palming off a final verse,
+which gives one to understand that the previous stanzas have been only
+'Johnny's' little fun, and which makes him bleat:</p>
+
+<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="">
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td>
+'They said I hanged for money,<br />
+But I never hanged nobody.'<br />
+</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>I also possess a shanty collection where the words have so clearly
+shocked the editor that he has composed an entirely fresh set. These
+exhibit 'Johnny' as a spotless moralist, who would never <i>really</i> hang
+his parents, but would only operate (in a Pickwickian sense of course)
+on naughty and unworthy people:</p>
+
+<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="">
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td>
+'I'd hang a noted liar,<br />
+I'd hang a bloated friar.<br />
+<br />
+'I'd hang a brutal mother,<br />
+I'd hang her and no other.<br />
+<br />
+'I'd hang to make things jolly,<br />
+I'd hang all wrong and folly.'<br />
+</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>Imagine a shantyman (<i>farceur</i> as he ever was) making for edification
+in that style!</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Hilo_somebody">20. HILO SOMEBODY</a></h3>
+
+<p>This is another of the shanties I learnt as a boy from Blyth sailors,
+and which has never been printed before. I fancy that 'blackbird' and
+'crew' must be a perversion of 'blackbird and <i>crow</i>,' as the latter
+figure of speech occurs in other shanties.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Oh_run_let_the_Bullgine_run">21. OH, RUN, LET THE BULLGINE RUN</a></h3>
+
+<p>The reference to the 'Bullgine' seems to suggest Transatlantic origin.
+There were endless verses, but no attempt at narrative beyond a
+recital of the names of places from which and to which they were
+'running.' This version was sung to me by Mr. F.B. Mayoss, a seaman
+who sailed in the old China Clippers.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Reuben_Ranzo">22. REUBEN RANZO</a></h3>
+
+<p>Alden gives this version, and I fancy it may have once been fairly
+general, as several of my relatives used to sing it. The version I
+mostly heard from other sailors, however, began:</p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music07.png" width="467" height="82" alt="music" title="music" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music07.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>But from Mr. Morley Roberts I had the following:</p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music08.png" width="469" height="82" alt="music" title="music" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music08.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>Capt. Robertson's version ran thus:</p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music09.png" width="508" height="240" alt="Reuben Ranzo" title="Reuben Ranzo" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music09.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>Whall gives another version on page 84.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xvi" id="Page_xvi">[Pg&#160;xvi]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Who Ranzo was must ever remain a mystery. Capt. Whall suggests that
+the word might be a corruption of Lorenzo, since Yankee Whalers took
+many Portuguese men from the Azores, where Lorenzo would have been a
+common enough name. He adds that in his time the shanty was always
+sung to the regulation words, and that 'when the story was finished
+there was no attempt at improvization; the text was, I suppose,
+considered sacred.' He further says that he never heard any variation
+from the words which he gives.</p>
+
+<p>I think he is right about the absence of improvization on extraneous
+topics, but I used to hear a good deal of improvization on the subject
+of Ranzo himself. I knew at least three endings of the story: (1)
+where the captain took him into the cabin, 'larned him navigation,'
+and eventually married him to his daughter; (2) where Ranzo's hatred
+of ablutions caused the indignant crew to throw him overboard; (3)
+where the story ended with the lashes received, not for his dirty
+habits, but for a theft:</p>
+
+<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="">
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td>
+'We gave him lashes thirty<br />
+For stealin' the captain's turkey.'<br />
+</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>I have also heard many extemporaneous verses relating his adventures
+among the denizens of the deep after he was thrown overboard.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#The_dead_horse">23. THE DEAD HORSE</a></h3>
+
+<p>This shanty was used both for hauling and for pumping ship. It seems
+to have had its origin in a rite which took place after the crew had
+'worked off the dead horse.' The circumstances were these: Before any
+voyage, the crew received a month's pay in advance, which, needless to
+say, was spent ashore before the vessel sailed. Jack's first month on
+sea was therefore spent in clearing off his advance, which he called
+working off the dead horse. The end of that payless period was
+celebrated with a solemn ceremony: a mass of straw, or whatever other
+combustibles were to hand, was made up into a big bundle, which
+sometimes did, and more often did not, resemble a horse. This was
+dragged round the deck by all hands, the shanty being sung meanwhile.
+The perambulation completed, the dead horse was lighted and hauled up,
+usually to the main-yardarm, and when the flames had got a good hold,
+the rope was cut and the blazing mass fell into the sea, amid shouts
+of jubilation.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Toms_gone_to_Hilo">24. TOM&#8217;S GONE TO HILO</a></h3>
+
+<p>This beautiful tune was very popular. I have chosen the version sung
+to me by Mr. George Vickers, although in the first chorus it differs
+somewhat from the version I learnt as a boy:</p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+<img src="images/music10.png" width="403" height="81" alt="music" title="music" /></p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center"><a href="music/music10.midi">[Listen]</a></p>
+
+<p>&#160;</p>
+
+<p>It will be seen how closely the above resembles the version given by
+Whall on page 74. (It will be noted that he entitled it '<i>John's</i> gone
+to Hilo.') I give Mr. Vickers's verses about 'The Victory' and
+'Trafalgar,' as I had never heard them sung by any other seaman. I
+have omitted the endless couplets containing the names of places to
+which Tommy is supposed to have travelled. As Capt. Whall says: 'A
+good shantyman would take Johnny all round the world to ports with
+three syllables, Montreal, Rio Grande Newfoundland, or any such as
+might occur to him.'</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Whisky_Johnny">25. WHISKY JOHNNY</a></h3>
+
+<p>This Bacchanalian chant was a prime favourite. Every sailor knew it,
+and every collection includes some version of it.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Boney_was_a_warrior">26. BONEY WAS A WARRIOR</a></h3>
+
+<p>I never met a seaman who has not hoisted topsails to this shanty. Why
+Jack should have made a hero of Boney (he frequently pronounced it
+'Bonny') is a mystery, except perhaps that, as a sailor, he realized
+the true desolation of imprisonment on a sea-girt island, and his
+sympathies went out to the lonely exile accordingly. Or it may have
+been the natural liking of the Briton for any enemy who proved himself
+a 'bonny fechter.'</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Johnny_Boker">27. JOHNNY BOKER</a></h3>
+
+<p>This popular shanty was sometimes used for bunting-up a sail, but more
+usually for 'sweating-up.' Although I have allowed the last note its
+full musical value, it was not prolonged in this manner aboard ship.
+As it coincided with the pull, it usually sounded more like a staccato
+grunt.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Haul_away_Joe">28. HAUL AWAY, JOE</a></h3>
+
+<p>The major version of this shanty (which appears in Part II) was more
+general in the last days of the sailing ship; but this minor version
+(certainly the most beautiful of them) is the one which I used to hear
+on the Tyne. The oldest of my sailor relatives never sang any other.
+This inclines me to the belief that it is the earlier version. The
+verses extemporized to this shanty were endless, but those concerning
+the Nigger Girl and King Louis never seem to have been omitted. As in
+<a href="#Johnny_Boker">No. 27</a>, I have allowed the last<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xvii" id="Page_xvii">[Pg&#160;xvii]</a></span> note its full musical value, but
+aboard ship it was sung in the same manner as No. 27.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Well_haul_the_bowlin">29. WE&#8217;LL HAUL THE BOWLIN&#8217;</a></h3>
+
+<p>This was the most popular shanty for 'sweating-up.' There are many
+variants of it. The present version I learnt from Capt. John Runciman.
+In this shanty no attempt was ever made to sing the last word. It was
+always shouted.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a href="#Paddy_Doyles_boots">30. PADDY DOYLE&#8217;S BOOTS</a></h3>
+
+<p>This shanty differs from all others, as (<i>a</i>) it was sung <i>tutti</i>
+throughout; (<i>b</i>) it had only one verse, which was sung over and over
+again; and (<i>c</i>) it was used for one operation and one operation only,
+viz. bunting up the foresail or mainsail in furling. In this operation
+the canvas of the sail was folded intensively until it formed a smooth
+conical bundle. This was called a bunt, and a strong collective effort
+(at the word 'boots') was required to get it on to the yard.</p>
+
+<p>Although the same verse was sung over and over again, very
+occasionally a different text would be substituted, which was treated
+in the same manner. Capt. Whall gives two alternatives, which were
+sometimes used:</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+'We'll all drink brandy and gin,'<br />
+</p>
+
+<p>and&#8212;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+'We'll all shave under the chin.'<br />
+</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Morley Roberts also told me that a variant in his ship was&#8212;</p>
+
+<p style="text-align: center">
+'We'll all throw dirt at the cook.'</p>

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project

+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+

+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+It is sometimes difficult for old sailors like myself to realize that
+these fine shanty tunes--so fascinating to the musician, and which no
+sailor can hear without emotion--died out with the sailing vessel, and
+now belong to a chapter of maritime history that is definitely closed.
+They will never more be heard on the face of the waters, but it is
+well that they should be preserved with reverent care, as befits a
+legacy from the generation of seamen that came to an end with the
+stately vessels they manned with such skill and resource.
+
+In speech, the old-time 'shellback' was notoriously reticent--almost
+inarticulate; but in song he found self-expression, and all the
+romance and poetry of the sea are breathed into his shanties, where
+simple childlike sentimentality alternates with the Rabelaisian humour
+of the grown man. Whatever landsmen may think about shanty words--with
+their cheerful inconsequence, or light-hearted coarseness--there can
+be no two opinions about the tunes, which, as folk-music, are a
+national asset.
+
+I know, of course, that several shanty collections are in the market,
+but as a sailor I am bound to say that only one--Capt. W.B. Whall's
+'Sea Songs, Ships, and Shanties'--can be regarded as authoritative.
+Only a portion of Capt. Whall's delightful book is devoted to
+shanties, of which he prints the melodies only (without
+accompaniment); and of these he does not profess to give more than
+those he himself learnt at sea. I am glad, therefore, to welcome
+Messrs. Curwen's project of a wide and representative collection. Dr.
+Terry's qualifications as editor are exceptional, since he was reared
+in an environment of nineteenth-century seamen, and is the only
+landsman I have met who is able to render shanties as the old seamen
+did. I am not musician enough to criticize his pianoforte
+accompaniments, but I can vouch for the authenticity of the _melodies_
+as he presents them, untampered with in any way.

+INTRODUCTION
+
+
+APOLOGIA
+
+It may reasonably be asked by what authority a mere landsman publishes
+a book on a nautical subject. I may, therefore, plead in extenuation
+that I have all my life been closely connected with seafaring matters,
+especially during childhood and youth, and have literally 'grown up
+with' shanties. My maternal ancestors followed the sea as far back as
+the family history can be traced, and sailor uncles and grand-uncles
+have sung shanties to me from my childhood upwards. During boyhood I
+was constantly about amongst ships, and had learnt at first hand all
+the popular shanties before any collection of them appeared in print.
+I have in later years collected them from all manner of sailors,
+chiefly at Northumbrian sources. I have collated these later versions
+with those which I learnt at first hand as a boy from sailor
+relatives, and also aboard ship. And lastly, I lived for some years in
+the West Indies, one of the few remaining spots where shanties may
+still be heard, where my chief recreation was cruising round the
+islands in my little ketch. In addition to hearing them in West Indian
+seaports, aboard Yankee sailing ships and sugar droghers, I also heard
+them sung constantly on shore in Antigua under rather curious
+conditions. West Indian negro shanties are movable wooden huts, and
+when a family wishes to change its _venue_ it does so in the following
+manner: The shanty is levered up on to a low platform on wheels, to
+which two very long ropes are attached. The ropes are manned by as
+many hands as their length will admit. A 'shantyman' mounts the roof
+of the hut and sits astride it. He sings a song which has a chorus,
+and is an exact musical parallel of a seaman's 'pull-and-haul' shanty.
+The crowd below sings the chorus, giving a pull on the rope at the
+required points in the music, just as sailors did when hauling at sea.
+Each pull on the rope draws the hut a short distance forward, and the
+process is continued till its final resting-place is reached, when the
+shantyman descends from the roof. The hut is then levered off the
+platform on to _terra firma_ and fixed in its required position.
+
+
+WHAT A SHANTY IS
+
+Shanties were labour songs sung by sailors of the merchant service
+only while at work, and never by way of recreation. Moreover--at
+least, in the nineteenth century--they were never used aboard
+men-o'-war, where all orders were carried out in silence to the pipe
+of the bo'sun's whistle.
+
+Before the days of factories and machinery, all forms of work were
+literally _manual_ labour, and all the world over the labourer,
+obeying a primitive instinct, sang at his toil: the harvester with his
+sickle, the weaver at the loom, the spinner at the wheel. Long after
+machinery had driven the labour-song from the land it survived at sea
+in the form of shanties, since all work aboard a sailing vessel was
+performed by hand.
+
+The advent of screw steamers sounded the death-knell of the shanty.
+Aboard the steamer there were practically no sails to be manipulated;
+the donkey-engine and steam winch supplanted the hand-worked windlass
+and capstan. By the end of the seventies steam had driven the sailing
+ship from the seas. A number of sailing vessels lingered on through
+the eighties, but they retained little of the corporate pride and
+splendour that was once theirs. The old spirit was gone never to
+return.
+
+When the sailing ship ruled the waters and the shanty was a living
+thing no one appears to have paid heed to it. To the landsman of those
+days--before folk-song hunting had begun--the haunting beauty of the
+tunes would appear to have made no appeal. This may be partly
+accounted for by the fact that he would never be likely to hear the
+sailor sing them ashore, and partly because of the Rabelaisian
+character of the words to which they were sung aboard ship. We had
+very prim notions of propriety in those days, and were apt to overlook
+the beauty of the melodies, and to speak of shanties in bulk as 'low
+vulgar songs.' Be that as it may, it was not until the late
+eighties--when the shanty was beginning to die out with the sailing
+ship--that any attempt was made to form a collection.
+
+
+ORIGIN OF THE WORD
+
+Here let me enter my protest against the literary preciosity which
+derives the word from (_un_) _chante_ and spells it 'chanty'--in other
+words, against the gratuitous assumption that unlettered British
+sailors derived one of the commonest words in their vocabulary from a
+foreign source. The result of this 'literary' spelling is that
+ninety-nine landsmen out of every hundred, instead of pronouncing the
+word 'shanty,' rhyming with 'scanty' (_as every sailor did_),
+pronounce it 'tchahnty,' rhyming with 'auntie,' thereby courting the
+amusement or contempt of every seaman. The vogue of '_ch_anty' was
+apparently created by the late W.E. Henley, a fine poet, a great man
+of letters, a profound admirer of shanty tunes, but entirely
+unacquainted with nautical affairs. Kipling and other landsmen have
+given additional currency to the spelling. The 'literary' sailors,
+Clark Russell and Frank Bullen, have also spelt it '_ch_anty,' but
+their reason is obvious. The modest seaman always bowed before the
+landsman's presumed superiority in 'book-larnin'.' What more natural
+than that Russell and Bullen, obsessed by so ancient a tradition,
+should accept uncritically the landsman's spelling. But educated
+sailors devoid of 'literary' pretensions have always written the word
+as it was pronounced. To my mind the strongest argument against the
+literary landsman's derivation of the word is that the British sailor
+cultivated the supremest contempt for everything French, and would be
+the last person to label such a definitely British practice as
+shanty-singing with a French title. If there had been such a thing in
+French ships as a labour-song bearing such a far-fetched title as
+(_un_) _chante_, there might have been a remote possibility of the
+British sailor adopting the French term in a spirit of sport or
+derision, but there is no evidence that any such practice, or any such
+term, achieved any vogue in French ships. As a matter of fact, the
+Oxford Dictionary (which prints it '_sh_anty') states that the word
+never found its way into print until 1869.
+
+The truth is that, however plausible the French derivation theory may
+sound, it is after all pure speculation--and a landsman's speculation
+at that--unsupported by a shred of concrete evidence.
+
+If I wished to advance another theory more plausible still, and
+equally unconvincing, I might urge that the word was derived from the
+negro hut-removals already mentioned. Here, at least, we have a very
+ancient custom, which would be familiar to British seamen visiting
+West Indian seaports. The object moved was a _shanty_; the music
+accompanying the operation was called, by the negroes, a _shanty_
+tune; its musical form (solo and chorus) was identical with the sailor
+_shanty_; the pulls on the rope followed the same method which
+obtained at sea; the soloist was called a _shanty_man; like the
+shantyman at sea he did no work, but merely extemporized verses to
+which the workers at the ropes supplied the chorus; and finally, the
+negroes still pronounce the word itself exactly as the seaman did.
+
+I am quite aware of the flaws in the above argument, but at least it
+shows a manual labour act performed both afloat and ashore under
+precisely similar conditions as to (_a_) its nature, (_b_) its musical
+setting; called by the same name, _with the same pronunciation_ in
+each case; and lastly, connected, in one case, with an actual hut or
+_shanty_. Against this concrete argument we have a landsman's abstract
+speculation, which (_a_) begs the whole question, and (_b_) which was
+never heard of until a few years before the disappearance of the
+sailing ship. I do not assert that the negroid derivation is
+conclusive, but that from (_un_) _chante_ will not bear serious
+inspection.
+
+
+BIBLIOGRAPHY
+
+The material under this head is very scanty. Nothing of any
+consequence was written before the eighties, when W.L. Alden, in
+_Harper's Magazine_, and James Runciman, in the _St. James's Gazette_
+and other papers, wrote articles on the subject with musical
+quotations. Since then several collections have appeared:
+
+     1887. _Sailors' Songs or Chanties_, the words by Frederick
+     J. Davis, R.N.R., the music composed and arranged upon
+     traditional sailor airs by Ferris Tozer, Mus. D. Oxon.
+
+     1888. _The Music of the Waters_, by Laura Alexandrine Smith.
+
+     1910 and 1912. _Sea Songs, Ships, and Shanties_, by Capt.
+     W.B. Whall.
+
+     1912. _Songs of Sea Labour_, by Frank T. Bullen and W.F.
+     Arnold.
+
+     1914. _English Folk Chanteys_ with Pianoforte Accompaniment,
+     collected by Cecil J. Sharp.
+
+Of all these collections Capt. Whall's is the only one which a sailor
+could accept as authoritative. Capt. Whall unfortunately only gives
+the twenty-eight shanties which he himself learnt at sea. But to any
+one who has heard them sung aboard the old sailing ships, his versions
+ring true, and have a bite and a snap that is lacking in those
+published by mere collectors.
+
+Davis and Tozer's book has had a great vogue, as it was for many years
+the only one on the market. But the statement that the music is
+'composed and arranged on traditional sailor airs' rules it out of
+court in the eyes of seamen, since (_a_) a sailor song is not a
+shanty, and (_b_) to 'compose and arrange on traditional airs' is to
+destroy the traditional form.
+
+Miss Smith's book is a thick volume into which was tumbled
+indiscriminately and uncritically a collection of all sorts of tunes
+from all sorts of countries which had any connection with seas, lakes,
+rivers, or their geographical equivalents. Scientific folk-song
+collecting was not understood in those days, and consequently all was
+fish that came to the authoress's net. Sailor shanties and landsmen's
+nautical effusions were jumbled together higgledy-piggledy, along with
+'Full Fathom Five' and the 'Eton Boating Song.' But this lack of
+discrimination, pardonable in those days, was not so serious as the
+inability to write the tunes down correctly. So long as they were
+copied from other song-books they were not so bad, but when it came to
+taking them down from the seamen's singing the results were
+deplorable. Had the authoress been able to give us correct versions of
+the shanties her collection would have been a valuable one. The book
+contains altogether about thirty-two shanties collected from sailors
+in the Tyne seaports. Since both Miss Smith and myself hail from
+Newcastle, her 'hunting ground' for shanties was also mine, and I am
+consequently in a position to assess the importance or unimportance of
+her work. I may, therefore, say that although hardly a single shanty
+is noted down correctly, I can see clearly--having myself noted the
+same tunes in the same district--what she intended to convey, and
+furthermore can vouch for the accuracy of some of the words which were
+common to north country sailors, and which have not appeared in other
+collections.
+
+If I have been obliged to criticize Miss Smith's book it is not
+because I wish to disparage a well-intentioned effort, but because I
+constantly hear _The Music of the Waters_ quoted as an authoritative
+work on sailor shanties; and since the shanties in it were all
+collected in the district where I spent boyhood and youth, I am
+familiar with all of them, and can state definitely that they are in
+no sense authoritative. I should like, however, to pay my tribute of
+respect to Miss Smith's industry, and to her enterprise in calling
+attention to tunes that then seemed in a fair way to disappear.
+
+Bullen and Arnold's book ought to have been a valuable contribution to
+shanty literature, as Bullen certainly knew his shanties, and used to
+sing them capitally. Unfortunately his musical collaborator does not
+appear to have been gifted with the faculty of taking down authentic
+versions from his singing. He seems to have had difficulty in
+differentiating between long measured notes and unmeasured pauses;
+between the respective meanings of three-four and six-eight time;
+between modal and modern tunes; and between the cases where irregular
+barring was or was not required. Apart from the amateur nature of the
+harmonies, the book exhibits such strange unacquaintance with the
+rudiments of musical notation as the following (p. 25):
+
+[Music illustration]
+
+A few other collections deserve mention:
+
+     1912. _The Esperance Morris Book_, Part II (Curwen Edition
+     8571), contains five shanties collected and arranged by
+     Clive Carey.
+
+     1914. _Shanties and Forebitters_, collected and
+     accompaniments written by Mrs. Clifford Beckett (Curwen
+     Edition 6293).
+
+     _Journal of the Folk-Song Society_, Nos. 12, 18, and 20,
+     contain articles on shanties, with musical examples
+     (melodies only), which, from the academic point of view, are
+     not without interest.
+
+     1920. _The Motherland Song Book_ (Vols. III and IV, edited
+     by R. Vaughan Williams) contains seven shanties. It is
+     worthy of note that Dr. Vaughan Williams, Mr. Clive Carey,
+     and Mrs. Clifford Beckett all spell the word 'shanty' as
+     sailors pronounced it.
+
+     1920. _Sailor Shanties arranged for Solo and Chorus of Men's
+     Voices_ by the present editor; two selections (Curwen
+     Edition 50571 and 50572).
+
+There are one or two other collections in print which are obviously
+compilations, showing no original research. Of these I make no note.
+
+
+SHANTY FORMS
+
+Shanties may be roughly divided, as regards their use, into two
+classes: (_a_) Hauling shanties, and (_b_) Windlass and Capstan. The
+former class accompanied the setting of the sails, and the latter the
+weighing of the anchor, or 'warping her in' to the wharf, etc. Capstan
+shanties were also used for pumping ship. A few shanties were
+'interchangeable,' i.e. they were used for both halliards and capstan.
+The subdivisions of each class are interesting, and the nature of the
+work involving 'walk away,' 'stamp and go,' 'sweating her up,' 'hand
+over hand,' and other types of shanty would make good reading; but
+nautical details, however fascinating, must be economized in a musical
+publication.
+
+Capstan shanties are readily distinguishable by their music. The
+operation of walking round the capstan (pushing the capstan bars in
+front of them) was continuous and not intermittent. Both tune and
+chorus were, as a rule, longer than those of the hauling shanty, and
+there was much greater variety of rhythm. Popular songs, if they had a
+chorus or refrain, could be, and were, effectively employed for
+windlass and capstan work.
+
+Hauling shanties were usually shorter than capstan ones, and are of
+two types: (_a_) those used for 'the long hoist' and (_b_) those
+required for 'the short pull' or 'sweating-up.' Americans called these
+operations the 'long' and the 'short drag.' The former was used when
+beginning to hoist sails, when the gear would naturally be slack and
+moderately easy to manipulate. It had two short choruses, with a
+double pull in each. In the following example, the pulls are marked
+[music accent symbol].
+
+[Music illustration: REUBEN RANZO
+
+     SOLO. Oh pity poor Reuben Ranzo,
+     CHORUS. [accent] Ranzo, boys, [accent] Ranzo,
+     SOLO. Oh poor old Reuben Ranzo,
+     CHORUS. [accent] Ranzo, boys, [accent] Ranzo.]
+
+It is easy to see how effective a collective pull at each of these
+points would be, while the short intervals of solo would give time for
+shifting the hands on the rope and making ready for the next combined
+effort.
+
+When the sail was fully hoisted and the gear taut, a much stronger
+pull was necessary in order to make everything fast, so the shanty was
+then changed for a 'sweating-up' one, in which there was only one
+short chorus and one very strong pull:
+
+[Music illustration: HAUL THE BOWLIN'
+
+     SOLO: We'll haul the bowlin', so early in the morning,
+     CHORUS: We'll haul the bowlin', the bowlin' [accent] haul.]
+
+So much effort was now required on the pull that it was difficult to
+sing a musical note at that point. The last word was therefore usually
+shouted.
+
+
+SOURCES OF TUNES
+
+The sailor travelled in many lands, and in his shanties there are
+distinct traces of the nationalities of the countries he visited.
+Without doubt a number of them came from American negro sources. The
+songs heard on Venetian gondolas must have had their effect, as many
+examples show. There are also distinct traces of folk-songs which the
+sailor would have learnt ashore in his native fishing village, and the
+more familiar Christy Minstrel song was frequently pressed into the
+service. As an old sailor once said to me: 'You can make anything into
+a shanty.'
+
+Like all traditional tunes, some shanties are in the ancient modes,
+and others in the modern major and minor keys. It is the habit of the
+'folk-songer' (I am not alluding to our recognized folk-song experts)
+to find 'modes' in every traditional tune. It will suffice, therefore,
+to say that shanties follow the course of all other traditional music.
+Many are modern, and easily recognizable as such. Others are modal in
+character, such as 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor?' No. 14,
+and 'The Hog's-Eye Man,' No. 11. Others fulfil to a certain extent
+modal conditions, but are nevertheless in keys, e.g. 'Stormalong
+John,' No. 10.
+
+Like many other folk-songs, certain shanties--originally, no doubt, in
+a mode--were, by the insertion of leading notes, converted into the
+minor key. There was also the tendency on the part of the modern
+sailor to turn his minor key into a major one. I sometimes find
+sailors singing in the major, nowadays, tunes which the very old men
+of my boyhood used to sing in the minor. A case in point is 'Haul
+away, Joe,' No. 28. Miss Smith is correct in giving it in the minor
+form which once obtained on the Tyne, and I am inclined to hazard the
+opinion that that was the original form and not, as now, the
+following:
+
+[Music illustration:
+
+     Way, haul away,
+     We'll haul away the bowlin'.
+     Way, haul away,
+     We'll haul away, Joe.]
+
+In later times I have also heard 'The Drunken Sailor' (a distinctly
+modal tune) sung in the major as follows:
+
+[Music illustration:
+
+     What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
+     What shall we do with the drunken sailor? etc.]
+
+I have generally found that these perversions of the tunes are due to
+sailors who took to the sea as young men in the last days of the
+sailing ship, and consequently did not imbibe to the full the old
+traditions. With the intolerance of youth they assumed that the modal
+turn given to a shanty by the older sailor was the mark of ignorance,
+since it did not square with their ideas of a major or minor key. This
+experience is common to all folk-tune collectors.
+
+Other characteristics, for example: (_a_) different words to the same
+melody; (_b_) different melodies to the same or similar words, need
+not be enlarged upon here, as they will be self-evident when a
+definitive collection is published.
+
+Of the usual troubles incidental to folk-song collecting it is
+unnecessary to speak. But the collection of shanties involves
+difficulties of a special kind. In taking down a folk-song from a
+rustic, one's chief difficulty is surmounted when one has broken down
+his shyness and induced him to sing. There is nothing for him to do
+then but get on with the song. Shanties, however, being labour songs,
+one is 'up against' the strong psychological connection between the
+song and its manual acts. Two illustrations will explain what I mean.
+
+A friend of mine who lives in Kerry wished a collector to hear some of
+the traditional keening, and an old woman with the reputation of being
+the best keener in the district, when brought to the house to sing the
+funeral chants, made several attempts and then replied in a distressed
+manner: 'I can't do it; there's no body,' This did not mean that she
+was unwilling to keen in the absence of a corpse, but that she was
+unable to do so. Just before giving up in despair my friend was seized
+with a brain wave, and asked her if it would suffice for him to lie
+down on the floor and personate the corpse. When he had done this the
+old woman found herself able to get on with the keening.
+
+An incident related to me quite casually by Sir Walter Runciman throws
+a similar light on the inseparability of a shanty and its labour. He
+described how one evening several north country ships happened to be
+lying in a certain port. All the officers and crews were ashore,
+leaving only the apprentices aboard, some of whom, as he remarked,
+were 'very keen on shanties,' and their suggestion of passing away the
+time by singing some was received with enthusiasm. The whole party of
+about thirty apprentices at once collected themselves aboard one
+vessel, sheeted home the main topsail, and commenced to haul it up to
+the tune of 'Boney was a warrior,' changing to 'Haul the Bowlin'' for
+'sweating-up.' In the enthusiasm of their singing, and the absence of
+any officer to call ''Vast hauling,' they continued operations until
+they broke the topsail yard in two, when the sight of the wreckage and
+the fear of consequences brought the singing to an abrupt conclusion.
+In my then ignorance I naturally asked: 'Why couldn't you have sung
+shanties without hoisting the topsail?' and the reply was: 'How could
+we sing a shanty without having our hands on the rope?' Here we have
+the whole psychology of the labour-song: the old woman could not keen
+without the 'body,' and the young apprentices could not sing shanties
+apart from the work to which they belonged. The only truly
+satisfactory results which I ever get nowadays from an old sailor are
+when he has been stimulated by conversation to become reminiscent, and
+croons his shanties almost subconsciously. Whenever I find a sailor
+willing to declaim shanties in the style of a song I begin to be a
+little suspicious of his seamanship. In one of the journals of the
+Folk-Song Society there is an account of a sailor who formed a little
+party of seafaring men to give public performances of shanties on the
+concert platform. No doubt this was an interesting experience for the
+listeners, but that a self-conscious performance such as this could
+represent the old shanty singing I find it difficult to believe. Of
+course I have had sailors sing shanties to me in a fine declamatory
+manner, but I usually found one of three things to be the case: the
+man was a 'sea lawyer,' or had not done much deep-sea sailing; or his
+seamanship only dated from the decline of the sailing vessel.
+
+It is doubtless interesting to the folk-songer to see in print
+shanties taken down from an individual sailor with his individual
+melodic twirls and twiddles. But since no two sailors ever sing the
+same shanty quite in the same manner, there must necessarily be some
+means of getting at the tune, unhampered by these individual
+idiosyncrasies, which are quite a different thing from what folk-song
+students recognize as 'variants.' The power to discriminate can only
+be acquired by familiarity with the shanty as it was in its palmy
+days. The collector who comes upon the scene at this late time of day
+must necessarily be at a disadvantage. The ordinary methods which he
+would apply to a folk-song break down in the case of a labour-song.
+Manual actions were the soul of the shanty; eliminate these and you
+have only the skeleton of what was once a living thing. It is quite
+possible, I know, to push this line of argument too far, but every one
+who knows anything about seamanship must feel that a shanty nowadays
+cannot be other than a pale reflection of what it once was.
+
+That is why I deprecate the spurious authenticity conferred by print
+upon isolated versions of shanties sung by individual old men. When
+the originals are available it seems to me pedantic and academic to
+put into print the comic mispronunciations of well-known words by old
+and uneducated seamen.
+
+And this brings me to the last difficulty which confronts the
+collector with no previous knowledge of shanties. As a mere matter of
+dates, any sailors now remaining from sailing ship days must
+necessarily be very old men. I have found that their octogenarian
+memories are not always to be trusted. On one occasion an old man sang
+quite glibly a tune which was in reality a _pasticcio_ of three
+separate shanties all known to me. I have seen similar results in
+print, since the collector arrived too late upon the scene to be able
+to detect the tricks which an old man's memory played him.
+
+One final remark about collectors which has an important bearing upon
+the value of their work. There were two classes of sailing vessels
+that sailed from English ports--the coaster or the mere collier that
+plied between the Tyne or Severn and Boulogne, and the Southspainer,
+under which term was comprised all deep-sea vessels. On the collier or
+short-voyage vessel the crew was necessarily a small one, and the
+shanty was more or less of a makeshift, adapted to the capacity of the
+limited numbers of the crew. Purely commercial reasons precluded the
+engagement of any shantyman specially distinguished for his musical
+attainments. Consequently, so far as the shanty was concerned, 'any
+old thing would do.' On the Southspainer, however, things were very
+different. The shantyman was usually a person of considerable musical
+importance, who sang his songs in a more or less finished manner; his
+melodies were clean, clear-cut things, without any of the
+folk-songer's quavers and wobbles. I heard them in the 'seventies and
+'eighties before the sailing-ship had vanished, consequently I give
+them as they were then sung--undisfigured and unobscured by the
+mixture of twirls, quavers, and hiccups one hears from octogenarian
+mariners who attempt them to-day.
+
+
+METHOD OF SINGING
+
+So far as the music was concerned, a shanty was a song with a chorus.
+The song was rendered by one singer, called the shantyman, and the
+chorus by the sailors who performed their work in time with the music.
+So far as the words were concerned there was usually a stereotyped
+opening of one or more verses. For all succeeding verses the shantyman
+improvized words, and his topics were many and varied, the most
+appreciated naturally being personal allusions to the crew and
+officers, sarcastic criticism on the quality of the food, wistful
+references to the good time coming on shore, etc. There was no need
+for any connection or relevancy between one verse or another, nor were
+rhymes required. The main thing that mattered was that the rhythm
+should be preserved and that the words should be such as would keep
+the workers merry or interested. Once the stereotyped verses were got
+rid of and the improvization began, things became so intimate and
+personal as to be unprintable. It was a curious fact that such shanty
+words as lent themselves most to impropriety were wedded to tunes
+either of fine virility or haunting sweetness.
+
+For 'pull-and-haul' shanties the shantyman took up his position near
+the workers and announced the shanty, sometimes by singing the first
+line. This established the tune to which they were to supply the
+chorus. For capstan shanties he usually did the same. He frequently
+sat on the capstan, but so far as I can learn he more usually took up
+his position on or against the knightheads. The importance of the
+shantyman could not be overestimated. A good shantyman with a pretty
+wit was worth his weight in gold. He was a privileged person, and was
+excused all work save light or odd jobs.
+
+
+THE WORDS OF SHANTIES
+
+I have already noted the shanties which were derived from popular
+songs, also the type which contained a definite narrative. Except
+where a popular song was adapted, the form was usually rhymed or more
+often unrhymed couplets. The topics were many and varied, but the
+chief ones were: (1) popular heroes such as Napoleon, and 'Santy
+Anna.' That the British sailor of the eighteenth century should hate
+every Frenchman and yet make a hero of Bonaparte is one of the
+mysteries which has never been explained. Another mystery is the
+fascination which Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1795-1876) exercised
+over the sailor. He was one of the many Mexican 'Presidents' and was
+defeated by the American General Taylor in 1847. That did not prevent
+the British sailor presenting him in the light of an invariable victor
+until he was led out to be shot (he really died a natural death) by
+persons unknown. (2) The sailor had mythical heroes too, e.g. 'Ranzo,'
+already mentioned, and 'Stormy,' who was the theme of many shanties.
+No sailor could ever give the least explanation of them, and so they
+remain the last echoes of long forgotten sagas. (3) High-sounding,
+poetic, or mysterious words, such as 'Lowlands,' 'Shenandoah,'
+'Rolling river,' 'Hilo,' 'Mobile Bay,' 'Rio Grande,' had a great
+fascination, as their constant recurrence in many shanties shows. (4)
+The sailor also sang much of famous ships, such as 'The Flying Cloud,'
+'The Henry Clay,' or 'The Victory,' and famous lines, such as 'The
+Black Ball.' Even famous shipowners were celebrated in song, as
+witness 'Mr. John Tapscott,' in 'We're all bound to go.' (5) Love
+affairs, in which 'Lizer Lee' and other damsels constantly figured,
+were an endless topic. (6) But chiefly did Jack sing of affairs
+connected with his ship. He never sang of 'the rolling main,' 'the
+foaming billows,' 'the storm clouds,' etc. These are the
+stock-in-trade of the landsman; they were too real for the sailor to
+sing about. He had the instinct of the primitive man which forbids
+mention of natural forces of evil omen. But intimate or humorous
+matters such as the failings of his officers, the quality of the food,
+the rate of pay, or other grievances were treated with vigour and
+emphasis. Like the Britisher of to-day, he would put up with any
+hardship so long as he were permitted to grouse about it. The
+shantyman gave humorous expression to this grousing, which deprived it
+of the element of sulks. Steam let off in this way was a wholesome
+preventive of mutiny.
+
+The choruses were usually jingles, with no relevance save maintenance
+of the rhythm.
+
+One feature of the words may be noted. The sailor's instinct for
+romance was so strong that in his choruses, at least, no matter how
+'hair-curling' the solo might be, he always took the crude edge off
+the concrete and presented it as an abstraction if possible. For
+example, he knew perfectly well that one meaning of 'to blow' was to
+knock or kick. He knew that discipline in Yankee packets was
+maintained by corporeal methods, so much so that the Mates, to whom
+the function of knocking the 'packet rats' about was delegated, were
+termed first, second, and third 'blowers,' or strikers, and in the
+shanty he sang 'Blow the man down.' 'Knock' or 'kick,' as I have
+recently seen in a printed collection, was too crudely realistic for
+him. In like manner the humorous title, 'Hog's-eye,' veiled the coarse
+intimacy of the term which it represented. And that is where, when
+collecting shanties from the 'longshore' mariner of to-day, I find
+him, if he is uneducated, so tiresome. He not only wants to explain to
+me as a landsman the exact meaning (which I know already) of terms
+which the old type of sailor, with his natural delicacy, avoided
+discussing, but he tries where possible to work them into his shanty,
+a thing the sailor of old time never did. So that when one sees in
+print expressions which sailors did not use, it is presumptive
+evidence that the collector has been imposed upon by a salt of the
+'sea lawyer' type.
+
+Perhaps I ought to make this point clearer. Folk-song collecting was
+once an artistic pursuit. Now it has become a flourishing industry of
+high commercial value. From the commercial point of view it is
+essential that results should be printed and circulated as widely as
+possible. Some knowledge of seamanship is an absolute necessity where
+folk-shanties are concerned. The mere collector nowadays does not
+possess that knowledge; it is confined to those who have had practical
+experience of the sea, but who will never print their experiences. The
+mere collector _must_ print his versions. What is unprinted must
+remain unknown; what is printed is therefore accepted as
+authoritative, however misleading it may be. Many highly educated men,
+of whom Captain Whall is the type, have followed the sea. It is from
+them that the only really trustworthy information is forthcoming. But
+so far as I can judge, it is uneducated men who appear to sing to
+collectors nowadays, and I have seen many a quiet smile on the lips of
+the educated sailor when he is confronted with printed versions of the
+uneducated seaman's performances. For example, one of the best known
+of all shanties is 'The Hog's-eye man'; I have seen this entitled 'The
+Hog-eyed man,' and even 'The Ox-eyed man.' Every old sailor knew the
+meaning of the term. Whall and Bullen, who were both sailors, use the
+correct expression, 'Hog-eye.' The majority of sailors of my
+acquaintance called it 'Hog's-eye.' Did decency permit I could show
+conclusively how Whall and Bullen are right and the mere collector
+wrong. It must suffice, however, for me to say that the term
+'Hog's-eye' or 'Hog-eye' had nothing whatever to do with the optic of
+the 'man' who was sung about. I could multiply instances, but this one
+is typical and must suffice.
+
+We hear a great deal of the coarseness and even lewdness of the
+shanty, but I could wish a little more stress were laid on the
+sailor's natural delicacy. Jack was always a gentleman in feeling.
+Granted his drinking, cursing, and amours--but were not these, until
+Victorian times, the hall-mark of every gentleman ashore? The
+Rabelaisian jokes of the shantyman were solos, the sound of which
+would not travel far beyond the little knot of workers who chuckled
+over them. The choruses--shouted out by the whole working party--would
+be heard all over the ship and even penetrate ashore if she were in
+port. Hence, in not a single instance do the choruses of any shanty
+contain a coarse expression.
+
+
+EDITORIAL METHODS
+
+As regards the tunes, I have adhered to the principle of giving each
+one as it was sung by some individual singer. This method has not been
+applied to the words. Consequently the verses of any given shanty may
+have derived from any number of singers. Since there was no connection
+or relevancy between the different verses of a shanty, the only
+principle I have adhered to is that whatever verses are set down
+should have been sung to me at some time or other by some sailor or
+other.
+
+Of course I have had to camouflage many unprintable expressions, and
+old sailors will readily recognize where this has been done. Sometimes
+a whole verse (after the first line) has needed camouflage, and the
+method adopted is best expressed as follows:
+
+     There was a young lady of Gloucester
+     Who couldn't eat salt with her egg,
+     And when she sat down
+     She could never get up,
+     And so the poor dog had none.
+
+As regards the accompaniments, I have been solely guided by the
+necessity of preserving the character of the melodies in all their
+vigour and vitality, and have tried, even in obviously modal tunes,
+not to obscure their breeziness by academic treatment.

+NOTES ON THE SHANTIES
+
+
+1. BILLY BOY
+
+This is undoubtedly a coast song 'made into a shanty.' I heard it in
+Northumberland, both on shore and in ships, when I was a boy. The
+theme of a 'Boy Billy' seems common to folk-songs in different parts
+of the country. The tunes are different, and the words vary, but the
+topic is always the same: 'Billy' is asked where he has been all the
+day; he replies that he has been courting; he is then questioned as to
+the qualifications of his _inamorata_ as a housewife. Dr.
+Vaughan-Williams's 'My Boy Billie' is in print and well known, as is
+also Mr. Cecil Sharp's 'My Boy Willie' ['English Folk-Songs,' vol. i,
+page 98]. I have also collected different versions in Warwickshire and
+Somerset. The version of line 1, page 3, bars 2 and 3, is older than
+the one given in my arrangement for male-voice chorus (Curwen Edition
+50572), so, upon consideration, I decided to give it here. There are
+many more verses, but they are not printable, nor do they readily lend
+themselves to camouflage. The tune has not appeared in print until
+now.
+
+
+2. BOUND FOR THE RIO GRANDE
+
+The variants of this noble tune are legion. But this version, which a
+sailor uncle taught me, has been selected, as I think it the most
+beautiful of all. I used to notice, even as a boy, how it seemed to
+inspire the shantyman to sentimental flights of _Heimweh_ that at
+times came perilously near poetry. The words of the well-known song,
+'Where are you going to, my pretty maid?' were frequently sung to this
+shanty, and several sailors have told me that they had also used the
+words of the song known as 'The Fishes.' Capt. Whall gives 'The
+Fishes' on pages 96 and 97 of his book, and says that the words were,
+in his time, sometimes used to the tune of 'Blow the man down.'
+
+
+3. GOOD-BYE, FARE YE WELL
+
+This is one of the best beloved of shanties. So strongly did its
+sentiment appeal to sailors that one never heard the shantyman
+extemporize a coarse verse to it. Whall prints a version, page 71.
+
+
+4. JOHNNY COME DOWN TO HILO
+
+This is clearly of negro origin. I learnt several variants of it, but
+for its present form I am indebted to Capt. W.J. Dowdy.
+
+
+5. CLEAR THE TRACK, LET THE BULLGINE RUN
+
+The tune was a favourite in Yankee Packets. It does not appear in
+Whall. 'Bullgine' was American negro slang for 'engine.' I picked up
+this version in boyhood from Blyth seamen.
+
+
+6. LOWLANDS
+
+For another version see Whall (page 80), who says it is of American
+origin and comes from the cotton ports of the old Southern States. It
+was well known to every sailor down to the time of the China Clippers.
+My version is that of Capt. John Runciman, who belonged to that
+period. I have seldom found it known to sailors who took to the sea
+after the early seventies. The tune was sung in very free time and
+with great solemnity. It is almost impossible to reproduce in print
+the elusive subtlety of this haunting melody. In North-country ships
+the shantyman used to make much of the theme of a dead lover appearing
+in the night. There were seldom any rhymes, and the air was
+indescribably touching when humoured by a good hand. A 'hoosier,' by
+the way, is a cotton stevedore. An interesting point about this shanty
+is that, whether by accident or design, it exhibits a rhythmic device
+commonly practised by mediaeval composers, known as _proportio
+sesquialtera_. Expressed in modern notation it would mean the
+interpolation of bars of three-four time in the course of a
+composition which was in six-eight time. The number of quavers would,
+of course, be the same in each bar; but the rhythm would be different.
+The barring here adopted does not show this.
+
+
+7. SALLY BROWN
+
+For another version of this universally known shanty see Whall, page
+64. Although its musical form is that of a halliard shanty, it was
+always used for the capstan. I never heard it used for any other
+purpose than heaving the anchor. The large-sized notes given in the
+last bar are those which most sailors sing to me nowadays; the small
+ones are those which I most frequently heard when a boy.
+
+
+8. SANTY ANNA
+
+This fine shanty was a great favourite, and in defiance of all history
+the sailor presents 'Santy Anna' in the light of an invariable victor.
+The truth is that Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1795-1876) was the
+last President of Mexico before the annexation by America of
+California, Texas, and New Mexico. He defeated the Spaniards at
+Zampico, and held Vera Cruz against the French, but was badly beaten
+at Molina del Rey by the United States Army under General Taylor
+(1847). He was recalled to the Presidency in 1853, but overthrown in
+1855. He attempted to overturn the Republic in 1867; was captured and
+sentenced to death, but was pardoned on condition that he left the
+country. He retired to the United States until 1872, when a general
+amnesty allowed his return to Mexico. Like other Mexican Presidents,
+he lived a stormy life, but unlike most of them he died a natural
+death. Whall gives a version on page 89.
+
+
+9. SHENANDOAH
+
+This is one of the most famous of all shanties. I never met a sailor
+to whom it was unknown, nor have I ever found any two who sang it
+exactly alike. This version (sung to me by Capt. Robertson) is almost,
+but not quite, identical with the one I learnt as a boy. Shenandoah
+(English seamen usually pronounced it 'Shannandore') was a celebrated
+Indian chief after whom an American town is named. A branch of the
+Potomac river bears the same name. The tune was always sung with great
+feeling and in very free rhythm. Whall gives a version on page 1.
+
+
+10. STORMALONG JOHN
+
+This is one of the many shanties with 'Stormy' as their hero. Whatever
+other verses were extemporized, those relating to digging his grave
+with a silver spade, and lowering him down with a golden chain, were
+rarely omitted. Other favourite verses were:
+
+     (_a_) I wish I was old Stormy's son.
+     (_b_) I'd build a ship a thousand ton.
+
+Who 'Stormy' was is undiscoverable, but more than a dozen shanties
+mourn him.
+
+
+11. THE HOG'S-EYE MAN
+
+Of the numberless versions of this shanty I have chosen that of Capt.
+Robertson as being the most representative. Of the infinite number of
+verses to this fine tune hardly one is printable. There has been much
+speculation as to the origin of the title. As a boy my curiosity was
+piqued by reticence, evasion, or declarations of ignorance, whenever I
+asked the meaning of the term. It was only in later life that I learnt
+it from Mr. Morley Roberts. His explanation made it clear why every
+_sailor_ called it either 'hog-eye' or 'hog's-eye,' and why only
+_landsmen_ editors ever get the word wrong. One collector labels the
+shanty 'The hog-eyed man,' and another goes still further wide of the
+mark by calling it 'The ox-eyed man.' The remarks on this shanty in
+the Preface will show the absurdity of both titles. That is all the
+explanation I am at liberty to give in print. Whall gives the shanty
+on page 118, his version differing but slightly from Capt.
+Robertson's.
+
+
+12. THE WILD GOOSE SHANTY
+
+This I learnt from Capt. John Runciman. Allusions to 'The Wild Goose
+Nation' occur in many shanties, but I never obtained any clue to the
+meaning (if any) of the term. The verse about 'huckleberry hunting'
+was rarely omitted, but I never heard that particular theme further
+developed. Whall gives another version (in six-eight time) on page
+131.
+
+
+13. WE'RE ALL BOUND TO GO
+
+I used to hear this tune constantly on the Tyne. It is one of the few
+shanties which preserved a definite narrative, but each port seems to
+have offered variants on the names of the ships that were 'bound for
+Amerikee.' 'Mr. Tapscott' was the head of a famous line of emigrant
+ships. The last word in verse 5 was always pronounced _male_. This has
+led to many shantymen treating it not as _meal_, but as the _mail_
+which the ship carried. As the shanty is full of Irish allusions, the
+probabilities are that the word was _meal_, to which the sailor gave
+what he considered to be the Irish pronunciation. Whenever I heard the
+shanty it was given with an attempt at Irish pronunciation throughout.
+Capt. Whall (page 79) gives additional colour to the supposition that
+this was a general practice, for his version of verse 6 runs:
+
+     'Bad luck unto them _say_-boys,
+        Bad luck to them I say;
+      They broke into me _say_-chest
+        And they stole me clothes away.'
+
+
+14. WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SAILOR?
+
+This fine tune--in the first Mode--was always a great favourite.
+Although mostly used for windlass or capstan, Sir Walter Runciman
+tells me that he frequently sang to it for 'hand-over-hand' hauling.
+Whall gives it on page 107 under the title 'Early in the morning.' It
+is one of the few shanties that were sung in quick time.
+
+
+15. BLOW, MY BULLY BOYS
+
+This shanty has been included in every collection that I know of. (See
+Whall, page 91.) Most of my sailor relatives sang the last line thus:
+
+[Music illustration: Her masts and yards they shine like silver.]
+
+Spotless decks, and 'masts and yards that shone like silver,' were the
+distinguishing marks of a Yankee Packet, and this immaculate condition
+was the result of a terrible discipline, in which the belaying pin was
+a gruesome factor.
+
+
+16. BLOW THE MAN DOWN
+
+This is the shanty which is perhaps the best known among landsmen.
+'Winchester Street' is in South Shields, and in the old days was the
+aristocratic quarter where only persons of high distinction--such as
+shipowners, and 'Southspainer' skippers--lived. Whall gives the shanty
+on page 92.
+
+
+17. CHEER'LY, MEN
+
+This is a very well-known shanty, and the variants of it are endless.
+This particular version was sung to me by Capt. R.W. Robertson. It
+differs but slightly from the version which I originally learnt from
+Sir Walter Runciman. Very few of the words were printable, and old
+sailors who read my version will no doubt chuckle over the somewhat
+pointless continuation of the verses concerning Kitty Carson and Polly
+Riddle. They will, of course, see the point of my having supplied a
+Chopinesque accompaniment to such a shanty.
+
+
+18. GOOD MORNING, LADIES ALL
+
+The title belongs to other shanties as well; but, so far as I know,
+this tune has never been printed until now. I learnt it from
+Northumbrian sailors when a very small boy, and have never heard of
+its use in any other than Blyth and Tyne ships. It may be a
+Northumbrian air, but from such knowledge as I have gleaned of
+Northumbrian folk-tunes, I incline to the conjecture that it may have
+been picked up in more southern latitudes by some Northumbrian seaman.
+
+
+19. HANGING JOHNNY
+
+This cheery riot of gore is wedded to the most plaintive of tunes, and
+is immortalized by Masefield in his 'Sailor's Garland.' Nowadays one
+occasionally meets unhumorous longshore sailormen who endeavour to
+temper its fury to the shorn landsman by palming off a final verse,
+which gives one to understand that the previous stanzas have been only
+'Johnny's' little fun, and which makes him bleat:
+
+     'They said I hanged for money,
+      But I never hanged nobody.'
+
+I also possess a shanty collection where the words have so clearly
+shocked the editor that he has composed an entirely fresh set. These
+exhibit 'Johnny' as a spotless moralist, who would never _really_ hang
+his parents, but would only operate (in a Pickwickian sense of course)
+on naughty and unworthy people:
+
+     'I'd hang a noted liar,
+      I'd hang a bloated friar.
+
+     'I'd hang a brutal mother,
+      I'd hang her and no other.
+
+     'I'd hang to make things jolly,
+      I'd hang all wrong and folly.'
+
+Imagine a shantyman (_farceur_ as he ever was) making for edification
+in that style!
+
+
+20. HILO SOMEBODY
+
+This is another of the shanties I learnt as a boy from Blyth sailors,
+and which has never been printed before. I fancy that 'blackbird' and
+'crew' must be a perversion of 'blackbird and _crow_,' as the latter
+figure of speech occurs in other shanties.
+
+
+21. OH, RUN, LET THE BULLGINE RUN
+
+The reference to the 'Bullgine' seems to suggest Transatlantic origin.
+There were endless verses, but no attempt at narrative beyond a
+recital of the names of places from which and to which they were
+'running.' This version was sung to me by Mr. F.B. Mayoss, a seaman
+who sailed in the old China Clippers.
+
+
+22. REUBEN RANZO
+
+Alden gives this version, and I fancy it may have once been fairly
+general, as several of my relatives used to sing it. The version I
+mostly heard from other sailors, however, began:
+
+[Music illustration: Oh, pity poor Reuben Ranzo etc.]
+
+But from Mr. Morley Roberts I had the following:
+
+[Music illustration: Oh, pity poor Reuben Ranzo etc.]
+
+Capt. Robertson's version ran thus:
+
+[Music illustration:
+
+     Oh, poor old Reuben Ranzo,
+     Ranzo, boys, Ranzo,
+     Oh, poor old Reuben Ranzo,
+     Ranzo, boys, Ranzo.]
+
+Whall gives another version on page 84.
+
+Who Ranzo was must ever remain a mystery. Capt. Whall suggests that
+the word might be a corruption of Lorenzo, since Yankee Whalers took
+many Portuguese men from the Azores, where Lorenzo would have been a
+common enough name. He adds that in his time the shanty was always
+sung to the regulation words, and that 'when the story was finished
+there was no attempt at improvization; the text was, I suppose,
+considered sacred.' He further says that he never heard any variation
+from the words which he gives.
+
+I think he is right about the absence of improvization on extraneous
+topics, but I used to hear a good deal of improvization on the subject
+of Ranzo himself. I knew at least three endings of the story: (1)
+where the captain took him into the cabin, 'larned him navigation,'
+and eventually married him to his daughter; (2) where Ranzo's hatred
+of ablutions caused the indignant crew to throw him overboard; (3)
+where the story ended with the lashes received, not for his dirty
+habits, but for a theft:
+
+     'We gave him lashes thirty
+      For stealin' the captain's turkey.'
+
+I have also heard many extemporaneous verses relating his adventures
+among the denizens of the deep after he was thrown overboard.
+
+
+23. THE DEAD HORSE
+
+This shanty was used both for hauling and for pumping ship. It seems
+to have had its origin in a rite which took place after the crew had
+'worked off the dead horse.' The circumstances were these: Before any
+voyage, the crew received a month's pay in advance, which, needless to
+say, was spent ashore before the vessel sailed. Jack's first month on
+sea was therefore spent in clearing off his advance, which he called
+working off the dead horse. The end of that payless period was
+celebrated with a solemn ceremony: a mass of straw, or whatever other
+combustibles were to hand, was made up into a big bundle, which
+sometimes did, and more often did not, resemble a horse. This was
+dragged round the deck by all hands, the shanty being sung meanwhile.
+The perambulation completed, the dead horse was lighted and hauled up,
+usually to the main-yardarm, and when the flames had got a good hold,
+the rope was cut and the blazing mass fell into the sea, amid shouts
+of jubilation.
+
+
+24. TOM'S GONE TO HILO
+
+This beautiful tune was very popular. I have chosen the version sung
+to me by Mr. George Vickers, although in the first chorus it differs
+somewhat from the version I learnt as a boy:
+
+[Music illustration: Away down Hilo etc.]
+
+It will be seen how closely the above resembles the version given by
+Whall on page 74. (It will be noted that he entitled it '_John's_ gone
+to Hilo.') I give Mr. Vickers's verses about 'The Victory' and
+'Trafalgar,' as I had never heard them sung by any other seaman. I
+have omitted the endless couplets containing the names of places to
+which Tommy is supposed to have travelled. As Capt. Whall says: 'A
+good shantyman would take Johnny all round the world to ports with
+three syllables, Montreal, Rio Grande Newfoundland, or any such as
+might occur to him.'
+
+
+25. WHISKY JOHNNY
+
+This Bacchanalian chant was a prime favourite. Every sailor knew it,
+and every collection includes some version of it.
+
+
+26. BONEY WAS A WARRIOR
+
+I never met a seaman who has not hoisted topsails to this shanty. Why
+Jack should have made a hero of Boney (he frequently pronounced it
+'Bonny') is a mystery, except perhaps that, as a sailor, he realized
+the true desolation of imprisonment on a sea-girt island, and his
+sympathies went out to the lonely exile accordingly. Or it may have
+been the natural liking of the Briton for any enemy who proved himself
+a 'bonny fechter.'
+
+
+27. JOHNNY BOKER
+
+This popular shanty was sometimes used for bunting-up a sail, but more
+usually for 'sweating-up.' Although I have allowed the last note its
+full musical value, it was not prolonged in this manner aboard ship.
+As it coincided with the pull, it usually sounded more like a staccato
+grunt.
+
+
+28. HAUL AWAY, JOE
+
+The major version of this shanty (which appears in Part II) was more
+general in the last days of the sailing ship; but this minor version
+(certainly the most beautiful of them) is the one which I used to hear
+on the Tyne. The oldest of my sailor relatives never sang any other.
+This inclines me to the belief that it is the earlier version. The
+verses extemporized to this shanty were endless, but those concerning
+the Nigger Girl and King Louis never seem to have been omitted. As in
+No. 27, I have allowed the last note its full musical value, but
+aboard ship it was sung in the same manner as No. 27.
+
+
+29. WE'LL HAUL THE BOWLIN'
+
+This was the most popular shanty for 'sweating-up.' There are many
+variants of it. The present version I learnt from Capt. John Runciman.
+In this shanty no attempt was ever made to sing the last word. It was
+always shouted.
+
+
+30. PADDY DOYLE'S BOOTS
+
+This shanty differs from all others, as (_a_) it was sung _tutti_
+throughout; (_b_) it had only one verse, which was sung over and over
+again; and (_c_) it was used for one operation and one operation only,
+viz. bunting up the foresail or mainsail in furling. In this operation
+the canvas of the sail was folded intensively until it formed a smooth
+conical bundle. This was called a bunt, and a strong collective effort
+(at the word 'boots') was required to get it on to the yard.
+
+Although the same verse was sung over and over again, very
+occasionally a different text would be substituted, which was treated
+in the same manner. Capt. Whall gives two alternatives, which were
+sometimes used:
+
+     'We'll all drink brandy and gin,'
+
+and--
+
+     'We'll all shave under the chin.'
+
+Mr. Morley Roberts also told me that a variant in his ship was--
+
+     'We'll all throw dirt at the cook.'

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
