To mark the first ever International Appalachian Dulcimer Day March 26, 2022 here is my version of The Leaving Shanty played on a six string baritone mountain dulcimer.
@davisjames Thanks for listening Buddy, I have also heard it called Padstow Farewell Shanty, Cornish Farewell Shanty and Bristol Leaving Shanty. I'm sure there are lots of different names for this tune.
@robin-thompson It's a cold and blustery one here today, good thing we have a couple of dulcimers to keep us warm inside. Happy International Appalachian Dulcimer Day to you!

That's a great song.In all my years around shanties,sea songs,etc.,I've never heard it before.
@dulcinina Thank you Nina.
Always enjoy your videos, Gordon. You put such heart into your songs. Nina
It's quite chilly today here in OH US, too-- snow flurries off and on for awhile. Yes, good to have the mountain dulcimers! :)

Nicely played & sung, Gordon! Wishing you a joyous International Appalachian Dulcimer Day there in your neck of the woods in Canada!
