Shanty

Shanties sind Lieder der Matrosen zu gemeinschaftlicher Arbeit. Ein vom Shantyman gesungener Solopart, der oft auch improvisiert ist, wird von Kehrreimzeilen der Mannschaft unterbrochen.

Eines der bekanntesten Lieder dieser Art trägt den Titel "What shall we do with the drunken sailor". Sein Text:

What'll we do with a drunken sailor, 
What'll we do with a drunken sailor, 
What'll we do with a drunken sailor, 
Earl-aye in the morning?
Alle:

Way hay and up she rises 
Patent blocks o' diff'rent sizes, 
Way hay and up she rises 
Earl-aye in the morning
