Haunted/Spooky Maritime Songs?
In the last episode of the show “Widow’s Bay” one of the characters sang a maritime song about the sea hag. I’m pretty sure the song was written for the show because the lyrics line up to the plot exactly. It did make me curious about other shanties and maritime songs that involve horror or spooky elements and I was hoping you wonderful folks could help a guy out with some suggestions.
If anyone is wondering here are the lyrics for the song from the show. Pardon any busted formatting as I’m posting this from my phone during my lunch break.
The Sea Hag
Lads say farewell to Ensign Trag
He went to shore and met the Hag
With just one gash betrothed they be
She followed bim on land and sea
For if you let her pierce your skin
Betwixt her thighs, your final sin
