Railroad Gandy with their version of "Hanging Johnnies", a traditional sea shanty. The song likely originated from the mid-19th century, it served as a halyard shanty for hoisting sails, with verses adapted to the crew's experiences. Its exact origin is debated, with speculation pointing to the infamous hangman Jack Ketch. The song's enduring popularity comes from its rhythmic call-and-response and versatile lyrics, used for work and later by African American soldiers and even rugby fans.
