@TheWingsOfTheFallen Different times, different rules. Nowadays that would seem like the most likely result, but back then it's also possible he'd have been forced into marriage. Otherwise his daughter would have been disgraced and dishonored if anyone found out.
@AuredurGames Fun fact. In some versions of the song they do throw him overboard. Usually it was for the "being dirty" part, though. And, in a few of those, he has adventures under the sea afterwards.
Likely because the work wasn't done at that point so the song had to keep going.
Some other variations of the song are him getting along with the crew and they teach him (instead of the captain's daughter), or "giving him lashes 20" instead of 30. "Which was 19 more than plenty". ;)
@jediknightking It's about a new york talior (clothes maker) who got on board of a whale hunting ship, even though he knew nothing about the sea. Got in some trouble with the crew for shirking duties and (in some versions) getting drunk a lot, but ended up becoming a bad ass captain. (I'm not sure if it's a true story or not. One would think that after having sex with the captains daughter, (at least thats what it looks like he did),he would have been thrown overboard or something. xD
Drako, you're one of the driving forces that got me excited about sea chanteys and folk music. I'm currently in a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore, and watching these always puts me in just the right mood for it. Thanks!
