*From the unabridged edition of Hugill's SHANTIES FROM THE SEVEN SEAS (1961). • Sailors of course used or adapted many songs, familiar to non-sailors, as chanteys. Hugill's text generally excludes those non-exclusive songs. However, here is a new verse, set to one famous ditty, that has a specific nautical theme. Hugill says that while Oh, Susanna lends itself to being a chantey, it has not appeared in print as such. This particular verse he gets from Colcords book, where she gave it as a fo'c'sle song (non-chantey). I am unable to locate it in my resives 1938 edition of Colcord; perhaps it was only in the 1924 original. Hugill gives text only, so I just assumed the familiar tune it should go to. • See the whole Shanties from the Seven Seas project, here: • http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list...
