+# Sea Shanties — booklet
+
+Source for the **Sea Shanties** songbook, built with [markdown-booklet](https://github.com/chrisglein/markdown-booklet) into a saddle-stitch, booklet-imposed printable HTML.
+
+## Layout
+
+- Half-letter pages (5.5 × 8.5 in), folded from Letter sheets
+- Cover → blank → contents (page 3) → thirteen songs, each a two-page spread starting on an even page (4, 6, 8, …)
+- Titles in **Primitive**; everything else in **Lucida Bright** (with serif fallbacks)
+
+## Build
+
+This folder is the source. The engine is the `markdown-booklet` dependency in the parent `package.json`; install it once from the repo root:
+
+```sh
+npm install
+```
+
+Build from the repo root:
+
+```sh
+npm run booklet
+```
+
+Reading-order proof (one page per page, no imposition):
+
+```sh
+npm run booklet:proof
+```
+
+Then open `sea-shanties.html` in a Chromium-based browser and print.
+
+## Print settings
+
+Print from a Chromium-based browser (Chrome):
+
+- Paper: Letter, **landscape**
+- Margins: **None**
+- Scale: **Actual Size** (100%)
+- Two-sided: **Print on both sides — flip on short edge**
+
+Fold the stack in half and staple the spine.
+
+## Assets
+
+- `cover.png` — cover illustration (sibling of the output so it resolves)
+- `shanties.css` — book styling (wired via `stylesheet:` in `book.yaml`)
+- **Primitive** font: drop the file in `fonts/` and uncomment the `@font-face` in `shanties.css`; until then titles fall back to a serif.
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `book.yaml` | Manifest: page order, page size, margins, stylesheet |
+| `cover.html` | Cover (title + art + byline) |
+| `contents.md` | Table of contents + warning + version |
+| `*.md` (songs) | One spread per song |

+# All For Me Grog
+
+{chorus}
+[C]All for me grog, me jolly jolly [F]grog
+[C]All for me beer and to[G]bacco
+[C]For I spent all me tin down on South Street drinkin [F]gin
+[C]And across the western ocean I must [G7]wan[C]der
+
+Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots,
+They're all gone for beer and tobacco
+For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
+And the soles are looking out for better weather.
+
+[Chorus]
+
+Where is me shirt, me noggin' noggin' shirt
+All gone for beer and tobacco
+For the collar is wore out and the front is knocked about
+And the tail is looking out for better weather
+
+---
+
+[Chorus]
+
+I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed,
+Since first I came ashore from me slumber,
+For I spent all me dough on me ladies don't you know
+Far across the western ocean I must wander
+

+# Barrett's Privateers
+
+*Stan Rogers, 1976*
+
+[C]Oh, the year was seventeen seventy-[G]eight
+> [C]How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
+A [C]letter of marque came [F]from the [G]king
+To the [C]scummiest vessel I've [G]ever seen
+> [C]God damn them all!
+
+{chorus}
+[C]I was told we'd cruise the seas for A[F]merican [G]gold
+We'd [F]fire no guns, shed no [C]tears
+Now I'm a [C]broken man on a [F]Halifax pier
+The [Dm]last of [G]Barrett's priva[C]teers
+
+On the ninety-sixth day we sailed again
+> How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
+When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
+With our cracked four-pounders we made to fight
+> God damn them all!
+
+[Chorus]
+
+Then at length we stood two cables away
+> How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
+Our cracked four-pounders made an awful din
+But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in
+> God damn them all!
+
+---
+
+The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
+> How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
+Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
+And the main-truck carried off both me legs
+> God damn them all!
+
+[Chorus]
+
+So here I lay in me twenty-third year
+> How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
+It's been six long years since we sailed away
+And I just made Halifax yesterday
+> God damn them all!
+
+[Chorus]
