| '''Sea shanties''' are working songs commonly sung aboard [[ships]] by sailors. They were especially common among navy men and [[Piracy|pirates]].

| When [[Edward Kenway]] sailed the [[Caribbean]] and the West Indies, he could request his crew to sing various shanties.
| | During the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], [[Edward Kenway]] could request his crew to sing various shanties, the lyrics of which he obtained from pages strewn across the [[Caribbean]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref> This tradition continued into the [[Seven Years' War]], where the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]] also collected some shanties during his travels around the [[United States|American]] colonies.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref> |

| | Jolly Roving Tar= |
| | Ships may come and ships may go<br> |
| | As long as the sea does roll.<br> |
| | But a sailor lad just like his dad,<br> |
| | He loves the flowing bowl. |
| | <br><br> |
| | Oh women on shore he does adore<br> |
| | A girl who’s plump and round.<br> |
| | And your money’s gone<br> |
| | It’s the same old song,<br> |
| | “Get up Jack! John, sit down!” |
| | <br><br> |
| | Come along, come along, You jolly brave boys,<br> |
| | There’s lots of grog in the jar.<br> |
| | We’ll plough the briny ocean line<br> |
| | With the jolly roving tar. |
| | <br><br> |
| | When Jack ashore, he’ll make his way<br> |
| | To some old boarding house.<br> |
| | He’s welcomed in with rum and gin,<br> |
| | Likewise with pork scouse. |
| | <br><br> |
| | He’ll spend and spend and never offend<br> |
| | Till he’s lies drunk on the ground<br> |
| | When the money’s gone<br> |
| | It’s the same old song,<br> |
| | “Get up Jack! John, sit down!” |

| | Then Jack then will slip aboard some ship bound for India or Japan,<br> |
| | Then in Asia there, the ladies fair,<br> |
| | they all love a sailor man,<br> |
| | He’ll go ashore, and he’ll not scorn to buy some girl a gown:<br> |
| | When his money’s gone<br> |
| | It’s the same old song,<br> |
| | “Get up Jack! John, sit down!” |
| | <br><br> |
| | When Jack is old and weather-beat, too old to cruise about,<br> |
| | They’ll let him stop in some rum shop till eight bells calls him out,<br> |
| | Then he’ll raise his hands high, and loud he’ll cry:<br> |
| | Thank Christ! I’m homeward bound:<br> |
| | But his money’s gone<br> |
| | It’s the same old song,<br> |

| | For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow<br> |
| | And it's time for us to leave her. |

| | Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high.<br> |
| | "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"<br> |
| | She shipped it green and none went by.<br> |
| | And it's time for us to leave her. |
| | <br><br> |

| | I hate to sail on this rotten tub.<br> |
| | "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"<br> |
| | No grog allowed and rotten grub.<br> |
| | And it's time for us to leave her. |

| | Liverpool Judies= |
| | From Liverpool to ‘Frisco a-rovin’ I went,<br> |
| | For to stay in that country was my good intent.<br> |
| | But drinkin’ strong [[whiskey]] like other damn fools,<br> |
| | Oh, I soon got transported back to Liverpool, singin’. |

| | Roll, roll, roll bullies, roll!<br> |
| | Them Liverpool judies have got us in tow. |
| | <br><br> |
| | A smart Yankee packet lies out in the Bay,<br> |
| | A-waitin’ a fair wind to get under way.<br> |
| | With all of her sailors so sick and so sore,<br> |
| | They’d drunk all their whiskey and can’t get no more. |
| | <br><br> |
| | Chorus |
| | <br><br> |
| | Oh, here comes the mate in a hell of a stew.<br> |
| | He’s lookin’ for work for us sailors to do.<br> |
| | Oh, it’s “Fore tops’l halyards!” he loudly does roar,<br> |
| | And it’s lay aloft Paddy, ye son-o’-a-whore! |

| | Chorus |
| | <br><br> |
| | One night of Cape Horn I shall never forget,<br> |
| | ‘Tis oft-times I sighs when I think of it yet.<br> |
| | She was divin’ bows under with her sailors all wet,<br> |
| | She was doin’ twelve knots wid her mainskys’l set. |

| | And now we’ve arrived in the Bramleymoor Dock,<br> |
| | And all them flash judies on the pierhead do flock.<br> |
| | The barrel’s run dry and our five quid advance,<br> |
| | And I guess it’s high time for to git up and dance. |

| | Here’s a health to the Captain wherever he may be,<br> |
| | A bucko on land and a bully at sea,<br> |

| | I met a maid who asked me trade<br> |
| | And a sailor John says I.<br> |
| | <br><br> |
| | To Tiffany's I took her<br> |
| | I did not mind expense<br> |
| | I bought her two gold earrings<br> |
| | And they cost me 50 cents<br> |
| | <br><br> |

| | My dear Annie<br> |
| | O, you New York Girls<br> |
| | Can't you dance the Polka?<br> |
| | <br><br> |
| | Says she, "You limejuice sailor<br> |
| | Now see me home you may"<br> |
| | But when we reached her cottage door<br> |
| | She this to me did say.<br> |
| | <br><br> |
| | "My flash man he's a Yankee<br> |
| | With his hair cut short behind<br> |
| | He wears a pair of long sea-boots<br> |

| | Afore her flash man came<br> |
| | And fare ye well, me Bowery gal<br> |
| | I know your little game<br> |

| | And to the docks did steer<br> |
| | I'll never court another maid<br> |
| | I'll stick to rum and beer<br> |
| | <br><br> |
| | I joined a Yankee blood-boat<br> |
| | And sailed away next morn<br> |
| | Don't ever fool around with gals<br> |

| | Off to Sea Once More= |
| | When first I landed in Liverpool I went upon the spree<br> |
| | Me hard earned cash, well I spent it fast<br> |
| | Got drunk as drunk could be<br> |
| | And when me money it was all gone ‘twas then I wanted more<br> |
| | But a man must be blind to make up his mind and to go to sea once more |
| | <br><br> |
| | Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more<br> |
| | But a man must be blind to make up his mind and to go to sea once more |

| | Me cloths was new and me money too, in the morning with them she fled<br> |
| | And as I rolled the streets about, the tarts they all did roar<br> |
| | And there goes Jack Strapp, the poor sailorlad, he must go to sea once more |

| | Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more<br> |

| | "Time now Old Skipper to hoist up your sail" |
| | <br><br> |
| | (Chorus) |
| | <br><br> |
| | And up jumps a Slipsole as strong as a horse<br> |
| | Says now, "Old Skipper, you're miles off course" |
| | <br><br> |
| | (Chorus) |
| | <br><br> |
| | Then along comes a plaice, who's got spots on his side<br> |
| | Says "Not much longer, these seas you can ride" |
| | <br><br> |
| | (Chorus) |
| | <br><br> |
| | Then up rears a conger, as long as a mile<br> |
| | "Wind's coming east'ly" he says with a smile |
| | <br><br> |
| | (Chorus) |
| | <br><br> |
| | I think what that these fishes are sayin' is right<br> |

| | ==Behind the scenes== |
| | Sea shanties are thought to have developed from naval work songs sung by the [[Royal Navy|British]] and [[French Navy|French navies]]. The first written reference to such songs emerged in the mid-16th century. However, the use of the term "sea shanties" in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]] ''and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' is anachronistic. The term "sea shanty" as a naval work song did not develop until the early 19th century, where they were used aboard American [[merchant]] vessels. The likely etymologies of the word is the French ''chanter'' (to sing) or its English cognate ''chant.'' |
| | |
| | Remixed and shortened versions of some of the sea shanties can be heard in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Pirates]]''. |
| | |
| | In [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 47|Episode 47]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'', Edward Kenway sings part of a sea shanty which is actually an original song, "Skull and Bones", created for the 2024 {{Wiki|Skull and Bones (video game)|video game of the same name}}, also developed by [[Ubisoft]]. |
