T:The Leaving Shanty
T:Also known as The Padstow Leaving Shanty and The Cornish Leaving Shanty, this song has mysterious origins. It is 
T:said by some to have been found in a chapbook by Padstow area man Mervyn Vincent, who set it to music; others 
T:say it was discovered by Alan Molyneux who found it tucked into a book in Plymouth Library. Perhaps both tales
T:are true! Still others say it was composed by Mr Vincent. Transcribed and arranged by Gavin Atkin
T:!!!Sing and play freely and slowly. All instruments and voices on all choruses, please, but silence on verses, except for 
T:velvety chords and root notes !!!
