 We also hear that the the foreign sailors “answer to the name of ‘month’s advance.’”  On merchant ships, a sailor was typically paid one month’s pay in advance; ostensibly to outfit himself with any kit he lacked, though more often it was spent… let us say, irresponsibly.  These sailors clearly had a very nautical sense of priorities.
-On occasion, I have heard singers attempt to sing more or less this version of the song, but with more family-friendly words in missed rhymes.  This is usually undone to good comic effect (sometimes per the singer’s intent) when the chorus roars back the real rhyme, ''e.g.'', “a no good son-of-a-gun—bitch! bitch!”

 This version may not be family-friendly, depending on how prepared your family is to have frank conversations about fiscal responsibility, substance abuse, respect for other cultures, and sex workers.

+“Paddy Lay Back” is a capstan chantey,<ref>Glenn Grasso, ed.  ''Songs of the Sailor'', p. 18–19.  Mystic, Conn.: Mystic Seaport, 1998.</ref> as made evident by its grand chorus: “Take a turn around the capstan, heave a pawl!”  As with many capstan chanteys, it tells a tale, and the grand chorus helps fill out the time as well.  Hugill gives several versions, including as a forebitter,<ref>Stan Hugill.  ''Shanties from the Seven Seas'', pp. 240–244.  New U.S. Edition.  Mystic, Conn.: Mystic Seaport, 1994.</ref>  Colcord gives it as “Paddy Get Back,”<ref>Joanna C. Colcord.  ''Songs of American Sailormen'', pp. 121–122.  Enlarged and Revised Edition.  New York: Bramhall House, 1938.</ref> which Hugill also notes as a common variation.  Hugill also cites Smith, but I do not see any reference in the (index-less) edition I have.

+Raising an anchor can take hours.  Capstan and windlass chanteys are accordingly time-filling; I like the full story that “Paddy Lay Back” can tell, but singing it at a chantey sing seems a bit excessive.  The chance to put the whole thing on an album was a chance to sing it without anyone else’s impatient looks; how could I resist?  Also, this song is proof that “pants” and any words that rhyme with it are inherently funny.  At least to me.
