Pirates enjoying drink and song

Sea Shanties are working songs commonly sung aboard ships by sailors. They were especially common among navy men and pirates. They shanty consisted of two parts, the chant and the chorus. The chant would often be intiated by a single man who would sing the opening lines and establish the beat. The chorus would come and the rest of the singers would join in.
