A chantey, or sea shanty, is a type of work song traditionally sung by sailors to accompany their labor aboard ships. These songs often feature call-and-response patterns, making them easy for groups to sing together while performing tasks like hauling ropes or raising sails. The lyrics usually reflect the sailors' experiences, emotions, and the hardships of life at sea. Chanteys played an important role in boosting morale and maintaining rhythm during strenuous work.
