Sea shanties were work songs sung by sailors to help coordinate their labor and relieve boredom. They came in different types for specific tasks like trimming sails, raising sails, raising anchors, and pumping. The call-and-response format with emphasis on repeated words made the songs easy to learn and join. An example shanty called "Haul Away Joe" is presented to demonstrate this format. Shanty singing traditions exist around the world.

- French “chanter” to sing, Influenced by Irish, Scottish, English, French, African American and West Indian traditions, chanteys also served to lift spirits during this often monotonous and back-breaking work
- During the golden age of chanteying, 1840-1860, the work songs of sailors were used aboard ship to help coordinate shipboard jobs. Jobs such as hauling on lines to raise sails, turning the capstan (an iron winch) to weigh (raise) anchor and manning the ship's pumps required sailors to work together in rhythm. Influenced by Irish, Scottish, English, French, African American and West Indian traditions, chanteys also served to lift spirits during this often monotonous and back-breaking work. The songs were sung by call and response: a chanteyman sang verses and the crew responded with the chorus between each verse. The work was performed while singing the choruses. The chanteyman's verses gave the crew a few seconds to rest.
