lyrics

Narrative: chanty singing; used on ships & when logging. - Sandy Stoddard [1:58]
AC: 2316 - MF NO: 289.451

Recorded: Lower Ship Harbour, August, 1952. “When logging in Nova Scotia most of the loggers were seamen, and they used to sing to any chanties, but mostly those used at sea. Windlass and capstan had the same operation. ... It was very heavy heaving, and the music was needed to liven it up.”
