 “Blackbird Get Up” is a rowing chantey from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Vincent_(Antilles) St. Vincent],<ref>Roger D. Abrahams.  ''Deep the Water, Shallow the Shore: Three Essays on Shantying in the West Indies''.  Austin: American Folklore Society, 1974.</ref> and has one of the most fascinating (to me) stories of all these songs.  Yankee whalers would sometimes set sail with a skeleton crew and pick up additional hands in the Caribbean, including French-creole speakers from St. Vincent.  The Vincentians learned how to hunt whales from longboats, and they learned some of the English-language chanteys.  They didn’t really have the infrastructure to build whaling ships on St. Vincent, but they could and did build whaleboats; they would put to sea in the boats and hunt whales near the shore.  In addition to the English chanteys they’d learned, they developed some songs of their own; this is one of them.  (Their version of “Shenandoah” is also an amazing example of the folk process.)  The Mudcat thread linked above has some more details and discussion.
