Hoist the Anchor! Blow the Wind Westerly
Here’s a couple traditional sea shanties to sing Traditional Newfoundland capstan shanty
while you’re hoisting your anchor. One you
probably don’t know and one you think you do.
Up jumps a crab with his crooked legs
Saying “you play the cribbage and I’ll stick the pegs”
Drunken Sailor Singing blow the wind westerly, let the wind blow
Well known heaving shanty By a gentle nor’wester how steady she goes
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
Up jumps a dolphin with his chuckle-head
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
He jumps on the deck saying “pull out the lead!”
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
Early in the morning?
Up jumps a flounder so flat on the ground
Way-hay, up she rises
Saying “damn your old chocolate, mind how you sound”
Way-hay, up she rises
Way-hay, up she rises
Up jumps a salmon so bright as the sun
Early in the morning
He jumped down between the decks and fired off a gun
Put him in the long boat ‘til he’s sober
Up jumps a whale, the biggest of all
He jumped up aloft and he’s pawl after pawl
Pull out the bung and wet him all over
Put him in the scuppers with the deck pump on him
Up jumps a herring, the king of the sea
He jumps up on deck saying “helms a-lee!”
Heave him by the leg in a runnin’ bowlin’
Up jumps a shark with his big row of teeth
Tie him to the taffrail when she’s yard-arm under
He jumped up between the decks and shook out the reefs
