The game played by the shantyman was to take Tom (or John)
to as many ports of three syllables as he could think of. Harlow gives a couplet:
To Hilo Town we'll see hei through. For Tom has gone with a ruling crew. . . .
in which the phrase 'ruling crew' smacks of South Australia. Terry has an unusual pair of stanzas:
Tommy fought at Trafalgar [Repeal), Brave old Victory led the way. {Repeat)
Another common theme was the following, from the singing of Bill Dowling of Rootle:
I. Tommy's gone on a whalin'-ship. Oh, Tommy's gone on a damn long tup. 192
