with lyrics.

Ukulele and additional 'spoken' vocals by Peter Sellers.

The song is also unusual in the sense that all the male band members (except Nigel Pegrum) take lead vocals on two verses each (Rick Kemp singing verses 1 and 5, Tim Hart 2 and 6, Peter Knight 3 and 7 and Bob Johnson 4 and 8), with Maddy Prior singing the chorus.

The lyric is "my dear Auntie" (in the "naughty" sense), not "my dear Honey". Please note also that the sailor's name is "Jack R. Malone"; a subtle play on words indicating that when his "Auntie" absconded with his personal effects he was left to take the matter of his unfulfilled urges into his own hand.

Priceless, and a wonderful memory of the versatility of Peter Sellers.

See Wikipedia: "Santianna", also known as "Santiana", "Santy Anna", "Santayana", "Santiano", "Santy Anno" and other variations, is a sea shanty relating to the Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna. On 6 March 1836, at the Battle of the Alamo, Santa Anna's forces killed 189 Texan defenders.

I actually got an explanation on a different video, and I looked it up myself. "Santy" is also a word for "Prostitute". There's a story behind every folk song.

Don't think Sellers would have liked a Gentile term like "Christian Name" he hated his fathers religion

I just thought, as I tought before about that, thou it doesn't have to mean anything but maybe old english from french: santé "means health" that make me picture it as in the times whjen they built new york, maybe a yorkshire bloke it was,, or maybe if we look the places are somewhere else completly. Good day to .. I'll surely check out your page! .. Nice song

Ah, you go Henry Crun! You keep that modern Minnie Bannister in her place! :) Great song; I've been listening to them for 40 years now. And I'll happily listen for 40 more!

@meadowlarks100 Hi there, thanks for that. Yes , Bellowhead are a great band, and in fact I sometimes wish Steeleye would also produce a bigger sound, although their latest lineup has certainly gone a long way towards that. Maybe it's me that's grumpy !
