Sea Shanties & other maritime melodies.....

"Who's that knocking on my door?
Who's that knocking on my door?
Who's that knocking on my door?"
Said the fair young maiden.....

"Quit yer grinnin and drop yer linen!"
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
"Open the door and lie on the floor!"
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

"What if we should have a child?
What if we should have a child?
What if we should have a child?"
Said the fair young maiden.

"We'll dig a ditch and bury the b****!"
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
"Open the door and lie on the floor!"
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

There are a surprising number of "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" renditions out there, including some pretty risque versions, as well as full orchestrations (and 4-part harmonies!) and cartoons (including some not-so-politically correct early cartoons).
