'Walking along the pier to the white house, white house'
Does anyone know what song these words come from? My sister saw an old episode of Doc Martin, where a group was singing a song with these words at a wedding, and she'd like to know who it's by.

An old shanty? Any ideas from where?
There is a group of sailors somewhere in the country who sing shanties- aiming to keep the thing alive. They've been on the news and on tv programmes.
Might be worth going that way.
Alternatively write to the tv company or production company who made Doc Martin.
Try looking up anything online on the Doc Martin series, you might find something that way.

my internet went off - then I got involved in other things. I was on a site looking at the lyrics of some shanties. I see if I can find it again. Thing is we would have to guess at the title.
Carol, I think I may have seen/heard them in Swansea, docked up next to the museum. If it was them, they're very entertaining. :)
