Shanties From The Seven Seas
JOHN, COMt lELL US AS WL HAUL AWAY
he quotes two verses o{ Hanging Johnny, and speaks of a third verse whose words apparently had some relation to men's enlistment in the army during the Civil War. The quotation is on pp. 220-1 of my edition, which was published by Fields, Osgood & Co., in Boston in 1870.
Another popular 'Johnny' shanty was that known as John, Come
Tell Us As We Haul Away. It was often sung at pumps when the word 'pump' would be substituted for the word 'haul', although in the more modern flywheel type of pump where a bell-rope was used both words were equally appropriate.
It probably started life as a cotton
hoosiers' song down in the Gulf Ports. It was one of the very few shanties that had two singers for the solo lines. Billy Boy too was sung in this fashion.
It was also used at halyards by some shantymen. I
have given the line 'Aye, aye, haul away' as a solo and marked the hauling words in the refrains on account of this.
It was also used at
the windlass and capstan when the word 'heave' would be sub- stituted for 'pump' or 'haul'. Ex-shantyman Stanley Slade of Bristol, who has recorded this for H.M.V., puts the regular shantyman's 'yodel' into the line 'Hay-ey-ey haul-ey!' (third solo), his version of the shanty being a hauling one.
