Shanty Boys - Alderon Tyran

The Civil War Playlist now comes up to the Great Lakes! This song, “Shanty Boys“ is based on a logging tune that became popular in the 1880’s Logging boom in Michigan and Wisconsin. As a tune from the region’s past, what better to fit as inspiration for the national pride of the Midwest? For those confused as to what a “Shanty Boy“ is (especially if you come from a nautical background); Shanty Boys, or Shanties, were simply workmen. In lore, “The Shanties“ were one of the three main Militias that made up the first Midwest Rebellion.

[Verse 2] From The Mississippi, To the mountains co’ered
