Sea and sailor songs

Those marked with a star were (arguably) adopted as sea shanties.

Asleep in the Deep

Baltimore (Up she goes)*

Chillingowullabadorie*

Get up Jack, John sit down

I’ll go and enlist for a sailor

I’m afloat, I’m afloat

If you meet a vessel in distress

Man at the Nore, The

Married to a Mermaid*

On board o’ the Kangaroo*

Old Brass Locket

Ship Ahoy (All the nice girls love a sailor)

Ten thousand miles away*

Wreck of the Ragamuffin*
