## Description

The Ukulele Songbook: Shanties & Songs of the Sea : Balinger, Thomas: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Sea shanties arranged for ukuleles - I have been getting into shanties for a while now after seeing the Fisherman's Friends live and so was delighted to find this book. It contains the words, chords (including diagrams), top line of the musical score and ukulele tabs for the following songs: A drop of Nelson’s blood All for me grog A sailor and his true love Banks of Sacramento Banks of the Ohio Blow the man down Blow the wind southerly Boney was a warrior Boston harbour (Bound for) South Australia Bound for the Rio Grande Bully in the alley Cape Cod girls Dundee whalers (Balena) Essequibo river Eternal Father, Strong to Save Goodbye, fare thee well Good night, ladies Handsome Molly Harbour Grace Haul away, boys Jack the Sailor (Jackie Monroe) John Kanaka Lowlands away Maggie May Miss Lucy Long Molly Malone My Bonnie lies over the ocean New York girls On board of the Kangaroo Paddy lay back Roll, Alabama, roll Rowler Bowler Rule, Britannia Sailor on the deep blue sea Santiana (Across the plains of Mexico) Shenandoah Spanish ladies The bottle-o The coast of High Barbaree The dead horse The flying Dutchman The Forsaken Mermaid The Glendy Burk The John B. sails The mermaid The Shanty Boy on the Big Eau Claire What shall we do with the drunken sailor Whip Jamboree Whiskey Johnny In addition it contains basic chord diagrams for the ukulele and strumming and picking patterns. Everything is laid out really clearly which helps when playing the songs. I thoroughly recommend this book!
Review: A super little bargain. - A super little bargain. Lot's of songs, ranging from well known to not-so-well known. Easy Uke chords for beginners and a chord chart at the back, as well as strumming and picking patterns. Perhaps the only quibble would be some of the mis-spelling of lyrics but that's a small thing over all.

Lots of songs, clearly written, easy to follow. Most importantly, they sound good.
