Songs Of The Sea: Sung By Alan Mills And The Shanty Men. Alan Mills & The Shanty Me.

Drunken Sailor" is a sea shanty, also known as "What Shall We Do with a/the Drunken Sailor?". The shanty was sung to accompany certain work tasks aboard sailing ships, especially those that required a bright walking pace. It is believed to originate in the early 19th century or before, during a period when ships' crews, especially those of military vessels, were large enough to permit hauling a rope whilst simply marching along the deck.

Hard On The Beach Oar (Riverboat Song). My only complaint is that the men are probably taking the tempo of these songs a tad fast, as sea shanties are usually slow because the temp dictated the tempo of the hard work and the sailors who sang these songs wouldn't be able to keep of the pace of the work if it was too fast. However, by slightly increasing the tempo, it adds to the musicality of the album.

Mills began singing and recording traditional music from Canada, accompanying himself on guitar. His first album, Let's Sing a Little, was released by RCA Victor. He composed the classic folk song I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (with lyrics by Rose Bonne) which was later recorded by. Burl Ives, Peter Paul and Mary and many others. He published a book, The Alan Mills Book of Folk Songs and Ballads, in 1949  . Songs of the Sea: Sung by Alan Mills and the Four Shipmates.

Shanties and Sea Songs I soon got used to this singing, for the sailors never touched a rope without it. Sometimes, when no one happened to strike up, and the pulling, whatever it might be, did not seem to be getting forward very well, the mate would always say, 'Come men, can't any of you sing?
