Yes, aye, and we'll haul, aye,

To pay Paddy Doyle for his boots

We'll taughten the bunt, and we'll furl aye,

And pay Paddy Doyle for his boots.



Yeo, aye, and we'll sing aye,

To pay Paddy Doyle for his boots

We'll bunt up the sail with a fling aye,

And pay Paddy Doyle for his boots!

Yeo, aye an we'll haul, aye,

To pay Paddy Doyle for his boots;

We'll skin the ol' rabbit an' haul, aye,

To pay Paddy Doyle for his boots 


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.
