8. Oh, say wuz ye never down in Mobile Bay? A-screwin' cotton all the day.
9. Oh, me poor ol' mother, oh, she wrote to me, She wrote to me to come home from sea.
10. We'll heave 'er up from down below, Oh, heave 'er up an' away we'll go!
11. Oh, I thought I heard the Ol' Man say, He'd give us rum three times a day.
(From here onwards livelier words to put life into the otherwise mournful proceedings were usually inserted. These were much the same as the stanzas used to enliven Stormalong.)
12. I wished I had ten thousand f)Ound, I'd steer me ship for miles around.
13. I'd load her up with grub an' gin. An' stay in the port where we wuz in.
14. I'd stand ye drinks three times a day. An' feed ye well an' raise yer pay.
15. With a bully ship an' a bully crew. An' a bucko skipper for to kick her through.
16. Oh, I wished I wuz in Liverpool Town, With them Liverpool judies I'd dance around.
17. Wake up, yer bitch, an' let us in. Wake up, yer bitch, 'cos we want some gin.
My next shanty is also of the Lowlands family, but this was a
halyard song. I had it from Old Smith of Tobago, a fine old coloured shantyman who gave me many little-known shanties, in the thirties when I was shipmates with many West Indian seamen. Sharp gives a Bristol version very similar to mine—of course it is a West Indian song, and many of the shanties Sharp collected around the Bristol channel area he had from seamen who had served in ships in the West Indian trade (sugar and rum), many of which had chequer- board crews, i.e. one watch white and one watch coloured. Sharp gives an introductory chorus.
