Traditional:

Dance to your daddy  My little laddie

Dance to your daddy My little man


Thou shalt have a fish Thou shalt have a fin

Thou shalt have a haddock  When the boat comes in


Thou shalt have a codling Boiled in a pan 

Dance to your daddy My little man

Dance to your daddy  My little laddie

Dance to your daddy My little lamb


When thou art a man And fit to take a wife

Thou shalt wed a maid And love her all your life

She shall be your lassie Thou shalt be her man

Dance to your daddy My little lamb



The author of this website has put a lot of time and effort into gathering the greatest collection of sea shanties for the world to enjoy - There are songs that have been to sung to a job of work at sea for many, many years and collecting them has been a great endeavour. - Roger Chartier has made the effort out of his own interest and the requests that he has gotten to do this work from fellow musicians who wanted a good source of sea shanties to draw on and learn from. He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
