Many moons ago, I was subscribed to a "SeaShanty" mailing list that always
had lyrics to old Sea Shanty's (mythology, history of the time).  Many of
the Shanty's were from pre-1800's.  I (of course) don't remember the name of
the list, but it should still be out there if you look for it...  'course
you could just go looking for sea shanty's as well....
