chanty

From without came the low lapping of the tide, and from over the water a sailor's chanty from the barque.

Whistling cheerily, a rollicking chanty of the sea to which his feet kept time, he walked briskly along.

But the selectman hummed an old sea chanty while he hunted for a blank, and smiled as he penned the document.

I find a great difference between the old-fashioned chanty man and the modern seaman who never sings at his work.

All the crew were aboard and a knot of swaying bodies turned the windlass to the rhythm of a muttered chanty.
