Top View of Cleat Hitch

The first bend of the rope should be tied on the edge of the cleat *farthest* from where the load is. This allows more energy to be transferred to the cleat, rather than the rope.

Songs:

The only song that the kids have to know is Leave Her Johnny. Here is a link to a site that has the music and lyrics. http://www.8notes.com/scores/5310.asp

Haul Away Joe

These chanetys are much older than the Civil war. They are from the wind jamming days, the mid 1800's which saw the end of wind jamming and the beginning of steam power. These shanties were used to keep time while hauling on braces, brales, sheets and halyards.

Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her

Leave Her Johnny

O the times are hard and the wages low,
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
I think it's time for us to go!
An' it's time for us to leave her!

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is done an' the winds don't blow,
An' it's time for us to leave her!

O I thought I heard the old man say,
Tomorrow ye will get your pay!

The cook's a drunk, he likes to booze,
'tween him an' the mate there's little to choose!

I hate to sail on this rotten tub,
No grog allowed and rotten grub!

Now I thought I hear the old man say,
Just one more pull an' then belay.

----------- this is as far as we need to learn it ---------

It's rotten beef an' weev'ly bread,
It's pump or drown the old man said.

It's Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat,
It's Yankee John the packet rat.

The wind was foul an' the sea ran high,
She shipped it green an' none went by.

We'd be better off in a nice clean gaol,
With all night in an' plenty o' ale!

The mate was a bucko an' the old man a turk,
The bosun was a beggar with the middle name o' work!

It's growl yer may an' go yer must,
It matters not whether yer last or furst!

The ship won't steer, or stay, or wear,
An' so us shellbacks learnt to swear.

No Liverpool bread, nor rotten crackerhash,
No dandyfunk, nor cold an' sloppy hash.

The old man shouts, the pumps stand by,
Oh, we can never suck her dry.

We swear by rote for want o' more,
But now we're through so we'll go on shore.
