They were found mostly on British and other European ships, and some had roots in lore and legend. The term shanty most accurately refers to a specific style of work song belonging to this historical repertoire. However, in recent, popular usage, the scope of its definition is sometimes expanded to admit a wider range of repertoire and characteristics, or to refer to a "maritime work song" in general.

A poor old man came riding by
And we say so and we know so
Oh, a poor old man came riding by
Oh poor old man
Says I old man your horse will die
And we say so and we know so
And if he dies we'll tan his hide
Oh poor old man
And if he don't i'll ride him again
And we say so and we know so
And I'll ride him till the lord knows when
Oh poor old man
Hes dead as a nail in the lamp room door
And we say so and we know so
And he wont come worrying us no more
Oh poor old man
We'll use the hair of his tail to sew our sails
And we say so and we know so
And the iron of his shoes to make deck nails
Oh poor old man
Drop him down with a long long rope
And we say so and we know so
Where the sharks will have his body and the devil takes his soul
Oh poor old man

So they're gonna steal this old man's horse, ride it to death, tan its hide, use its hair to sow the sails, use its horseshoes to make nails, and then dump the body in the ocean to eliminate the evidence. Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the first example of a rapper snitching on himself in his album.
