In the old days when American sailing ships still plowed the seas, it was the custom of their sailors to enliven both their work and their leisure time with song. The songs they used were not, generally speaking, those current and popular ashore at the same period, but were traditional compositions of unknown date and authorship, growing as all folk-song does out of the needs and experiences of men. These songs of the sea have in every line of their verses and every bar of their music the distinctive flavor of seafaring. They are of equal interest to students of folk-lore and to those who love the memory of old days spent on blue water; and it is with both in mind that this work has been undertaken.

Passed down in the oral tradition and sung traditionally as working songs, sea shanties tell the human stories of life at sea: hard graft, battling the elements, the loss of ships or pining for a lady on shore. Its pages decorated with hand-drawn or wood-cut illustrations from celebrated artist Jonny Hannah, Sailor Song addresses the current modern revival of sea shanties, and seeks to celebrate and to explore the historical, musical and social history of the traditional sea song through 40 beautiful, mournful, haunting and uplifting shanties. Acclaimed shanty devotee Gerry Smyth presents the background to each one alongside musical notation. The lyrics are elaborated with explanations of terminology, context including historical facts and accounts of life at sea, and the characters, both fictional and non-fictional, that appear in the songs from the great age of sail to the last days of square-rig. Where appropriate, a direct digital link is made to a shanty recording in the British Library Sound Archive.

Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ...as the more the Storm increased, It gave them more room to guess, That some Ship upon the Ocean, Was in sad and deep Distress. We saw floating, some Days after, Some spare yards were drove on Shore, On which was the Name Victory, This gave us suspicion more: That the noble Ship was stranded On the Gaskets, was our fear, Long we waited with Impatience, But no News of them could hear. To this fatal Tragedy, The brave gallant Admiral Balchen With fourteen hundred Men beside, If she's lost, went to the Bottom, And all at once together died: Oh! the dismal grief and Horror, If one had been there to see, How they all were struck with Horror, When sunk down the Victory. O! the sad and dismal Story, I'm griev'd when I the same relate, So many blasted in their Glory, And at once shared the same fate: Some thinking on their Wives and Children, And some on their Parents dear, Sunk to the Bottom in a Moment, And no Time to say a prayer. O Victory! thou wast unlucky, But once before was out at Sea, In the Night run foul of the Lion, And her Carved-work took away: Now thou art gone to the Bottom, With a jovial Company, An Admiral, Marines and Sailors, Most Unhappy Victory! The Distressed Sailors Hen first I drew the breath of life, 'Twas in the merry month of June, The fourteenth day, as I am told, When flowers they were in their bloom: It was in Seventeen hundred and five, That was the very date of the year, Myparents did for me provide, The best of learning I declare. When I grew up, they asked me What trade must we prepare for thee? My answer was to them again, I mean to range the roaring sea: My whimsical brain did falsely show The pleasures men enjoy at sea, But oh! the sorrow, grief and woe, They suffer in extremity. If there be pleasure on the...

Passed down in the oral tradition and sung as working songs, sea shanties tell the compelling human stories of life on the water: hard labor, battling the elements, pining for distant loves and far-away homes. The music?s rhythms are designed to galvanize the group effort of heaving, pushing, and pulling to weigh anchor, wind rope around a capstan, or set sail. Acclaimed shanty devotee Gerry Smyth presents the background to each shanty alongside musical notation. The lyrics are elaborated upon with explanations of terminology, context including historical facts and accounts of life at sea, and the characters, both fictional and nonfictional, that appear in the songs from the great age of sail to the last days of square-rig.
