First published in 1921, "The Shanty Book" is a vintage collection of traditional sailor songs-or, shanties-compiled into this volume by Richard Runciman Terry. Each song comes complete with the original lyrics and clear sheet music, and are perfect for those with an interest in learning or performing traditional sailor songs. Contents include: "Windlass &Capstan Shanties", "Halliard Shanties", "Fore-sheet of Sweating-up Shanties", "Billy Boy", "Blow, My Bully Boys", "Blow the Man Down", "Boney was a Warrior", "Bound for the Rio Grande", "Cheer'ly, Men", "Clear the Track, Let the Bullgine Run", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
