Maybe switch to a different language, and see if that changes things up. Still a lot of sailing and stabbing though
There once was a ship that put to sea, the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea...
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now...
Now listen to me. I know it might not be a sea shanty but The rocky road to dublin grabbed me real good, what do ye lads say aboot that? A real stomper if ye ask me!
In terms of sea shanties, and I'll be the first to say for a 40 year old my taste in music is.... Eclectic to say the last, but there is a recording out of the 60s that is the quintessential collection of sea shanties and it is absolutely amazing.

I swear to God I have this vinyl somewhere in my house but I haven't seen it in years and haven't listened to it in years.

The internet saw one guy’s YouTube video of him doing a 4-part arrangement of Wellerman and now everyfuckingbody thinks they love sea shanties.
I liked sea shanties before they were cool
Started for me with Muppet Treasure Island, then reinforced with Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

No lie, singing shanties with my wife while we're cleaning the kitchen... makes the cleaning wayyy more fun
Windrose is a pretty good game but the shanty button makes it peak.
Could use a bit more variation though. It gets old pretty quick.
It's a shame we already have the last shanty
A swingin' sword, a skull and bones, and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST! (Screw it!)
Sailing down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea
If you wanna reach the co-op boy, you gotta get by me!
Har-har!
