Sea Shanties
I'd like to hear your favorite sea shanty or poem. Extra cred if you post a video singing or reciting it under sail!

Re: Sea Shanties
Not me but C.S.N & Y, "Southern Cross" about the Coconut Milk run from here to South Pacific. Makes my eyes water worse than bagpipes playing "Amazing Grace".

Re: Sea Shanties
My favourite chill-out music at the end of a day's sail is June Tabor's "Ashore" CD collection of nautical songs. As I recline in the cockpit with a scotch and a panatella while this plays, I'm in heaven.
And while I love all the tracks, this one written by Cyril Tawney is my favourite:

Re: Sea Shanties
Here is a sailor's song about those life-sized makeshift dolls sailors stitched together to be companions on their long voyages. It's a bit bawdy.
