Cape Cod Shanty

Centuries-old sea shanties made the drudgery and monotony of a sailor's work more tolerable. Sung on the decks of merchant, fishing, and whaling ships, these often colorful songs have become an important part of our folk music history. This is a full orchestra arrangement of Cape Cod Girls, a call-and-response song with some interesting lyrics. If you were seaman, you surely would have sung many creative verses.
