What are some good sea shanties?

Sea shanties are traditional songs that were sung by sailors in the past. They were used to accompany hard labor, such as raising sails and pulling ropes, and to pass time during long voyages. The melodies are usually simple and repetitive and often have a call-and-response structure. Some popular examples of sea shanties include "Drunken Sailor", "Rolling Home to Old New England", and "Leave Her Johnny". They can be a great way to make a boring task more enjoyable, and are also a way to connect with the history of sailing.
