I enjoyed that. Nice mandolin work. It's similar to a version I sing myself.

Academic point: This is a sea song but not a sea shanty. A shanty is a rhythmic work song with a call and response. Traditionally, the shantyman -- virtually always a man in the days of wooden ships -- "called" and the sailors chorus "responded". Well-known examples are "Drunken Sailor" and "Blow The Man Down." Here's a shanty. If the link doesn't work search YouTube for "Vfss Shanty Crew/ Blow The Man Down."
