Great Regulars: And he [Stan Hugill] tells us

that there were many songs of African-American and Latin mixture, around southern Mexico and British Honduras:

A de hala hombre poquito mas,
Down below for rolling go!

And:

Chyrra me Yankee, chyrra me rao,
What's de matta de loggin' no go?

from James Fenton: The Guardian: Songs of the sea
