Pretty certain it was mainly used as a moral buff during strenuous work unboard a vessel. The sailors were probably mostly tone-deaf though. Maybe there was this one guy who sang the entire song and the chorus was sung by the rest of the crew. A friend told me a crew would hire a bard for this purpose in those days but I don't know where he got that info from.

I'm just saying if you haven't tried listening to a shanty while working and feel worn out while doing so a good shanty might help.
