Many years ago while in the crew of the USS Lexington, CVA 16, we used to sing some sea shantys on the signal bridge. Many were too dirty for public use. LOL
In ~2009, I discovered Pandora manning the phones and entering dailies at the teaching zoo, and this song eventually played, and introduced me to a genera which would ever change me.
I heard this track on the Album (another TH-cam Vid) and I was immediately aware of how it bears a striking resemblance to songs still extant in my own North Atlantic cultural region lo these many hundreds of years later. I honestly assumed at first that this *must* be from "Home" but the reference to Yarmouth throws me off. *It might be Nova Scotia,* it might be England. But the sailors singing this song were, by a high percentage, Newfoundlanders. #TheRock Hey, if you're looking for something to compare this to... try searching for "The Old Polina", a song about a sealing ship which was renowned for her Arctic seaworthiness as well as her impressive speed. It has a melody which is likely derived from "Haul Boys Haul", and when played with instruments, a similar set of chords and progressions. Thanks!
