2. The o r Man hails from Barbadoes, Ch. Lowlands, Lowlands, Loitilands Low.

3. He gives us bread as hard as brass, Our junk's as salt as Balaam's ass.
4. The monkey's rigged in the sojer's clo'es. Where he gottem from God 'lone knows.
5. We'll haul 'em high an' let 'em dry. We'll trice 'em up into de sky.
6. Lowlands, me boys, an' up she goes, Git changed, me boys, to yer shore-goin' clo'es.
A fine old shanty was Stormalong. Like Lowlands Away it was originally used at the pumps and later sung at the capstan. Although there are those who believe it was built around John Willis—the owner of the Cutty Sark—there is no doubt at all but that it is of Negro origin, and of much older vintage than the Cutty Sark period. Negro songs are to be found with Stormalong Stormy refrains dating
back to the thirties and forties in the 'Ethiopian Collections' of Negro folk-song (see Bibliography), and Nordhofl' gives one form sung in the thirties by the hoosiers of the Gulf Ports. All the variants of this song have come from, or at some time or another passed through and have been moulded in, the shanty mart of Mobile Bay. Many of the couplets found in Stormalong are in other Negro songs. Quite recently I heard the American folk-singer Burl Ives singing over the radio 'Go on Blue, I finally got there too', in which the following lines also found in the shanty were used:
Lowered him down with a golden chain, and Dug his grave with a silver spade. Here is a list of the Stormalong family:
(i) Mister Stormalong. Pumps; Colcord: capstan; Terry and Sharp: halyards; Doerflinger gives it in his capstan, windlass, and pumps section; C. F. Smith gives it as pumps and capstan.
(2) Stormy Along, John. Pumps; Sharp, Terry, and L. A. Smith give it as capstan; Colcord gives pumps; Masefield gives halyards.
(3) Stormalong, Boys, Stormy. Halyards. (4) Way Stormalong John. Halyards. (5) Walk Me Along, Johnny {Storm an' Blow). Halyards; cotton stowers' chant.
(6) Yankee John, Stormalong. Halyards. 65
