Drunken Sailor:

This song is representative of capstan chanties. The shanty was
a tune designed to aid sailors in their work, and additional verses
could be created as necessary until the job was completed.
The capstan shanty was a moderate tune sung to raising the
anchor. In order to raise the anchor bars were inserted into the
capstan and sailors would walk around it, turning the capstan to
raise the anchor. Sailors would stamp on the deck on the words
"Way Hay and Up She Rises."
