Lyrics The Shanty-Boy's Alphabet - Brian Miller
A
is
for
axes
as
well
you
all
know
And
B
are
the
boys
that
can
swing
them
also
C
is
for
chopping
the
first
to
begin
D
is
the
danger
we
oft
times
are
in
E
is
the
echo
that
through
the
woods
rang
And
F
is
the
foreman
the
boss
of
our
gang
G
is
the
grindstone
that
swiftly
does
move
H
is
the
handel
so
slick
and
so
smooth
So
Merry
so
merry
so
merry
are
we
No
mortal
on
Earth
is
as
happy
as
we
Sing
hi
derry
ho
derry
hi
derry
down
Give
a
shanty
boy
rum
and
nothing
goes
wrong
I
is
the
iron
that
marks
all
our
pine
And
J
is
the
jobber
who′s
never
on
time
K
is
keen
edges
our
axes
do
keep
L
is
the
lice
that
keep
us
from
sleep
M
is
the
moss
that
we
stuff
in
our
camp
And
N
the
old
needle
to
sow
up
our
pants
O
is
the
owl
that
hoots
in
the
night
P
is
the
pine
we
fell
in
daylight
So
Merry
so
merry
so
merry
are
we
No
mortal
on
Earth
is
as
happy
as
we
Sing
hi
derry
ho
derry
hi
derry
down
Give
a
shanty
boy
rum
and
nothing
goes
wrong
Q
is
the
quarreling
we
never
allow
R
is
the
river
our
logs
they
do
plow
S
is
the
sleigh
so
stout
and
so
strong
T
is
the
team
that
pulls
it
along
U
is
the
uses
we
put
the
team
to
And
V
is
the
valley
we
drive
the
logs
through
W
the
woods
which
we
leave
in
the
spring
X,
Y,
Z
thats
all
I'm
going
to
sing
So
Merry
so
merry
so
merry
are
we
No
mortal
on
Earth
is
as
happy
as
we
Sing
hi
derry
ho
derry
hi
derry
down
Give
a
shanty
boy
rum
and
nothing
goes
wrong
So
Merry
so
merry
so
merry
are
we
No
mortal
on
Earth
is
as
happy
as
we
Sing
hi
derry
ho
derry
hi
derry
down
Give
a
shanty
boy
rum
and
nothing
goes
wrong
