Shanties from the Seven Seas PART 1
Pawn yer boots an' clothes and ship around the Horn. Along the way you'll meet the Creole gal know as "Sally Brown," "Shallow Brown," "Salambo," or "Shenandoah." You'll see places like Valaparaiso, Callao, several Rios, the Plains of Mexico, Mobile Bay (wuz yiz ever screwin' cotton there?), New Bedford, Boston, Newfoundland, Liverpool, London Town, Hong Kong, South Australia, Ilo, and Hilo. Everywhere, it seems, the judies got no combs, but haul away and make yer pay, and soon you'll be in Such-n-such Bay.
