This Sea Shanty dealt with the actual hanging of the mast. Because if you notice they even say But I never hanged nobody.

When the sea shanty trend started last year, a group of friends started a D&D game of pirates on the Sea of Swords (Forgotten Realms) I choose to play a Tortle Druid who was raised by sea fairing Dwarves and given the name Jahon by his adoptive father but then called Hangin' Johnny when he was taken in by pirates. He and his best friend, an Aarakocra named Grouse, left that shop and formed a new one with the party. Slowly the game fell apart, Grouse left, more people joined, there was I fighting, finally me and three other people had enough and told the DM to end the game because they was content to have it go on for ever (they're a big One Piece fan). Johnny became a legend for killing dragons, fighting pirates as he never really wanted the cut throat life, and protected as many Sea Elves as he could from another player a Koalinth who rose to the level of Ocean tyrant who was hunting them to extinction. Our characters are now locked in a perpetual war that will only end if one of both of us dies, but we will never play that out. I'll miss that character, but that game needed to end. I always wanted to play a character named Hangin' Johnny (who actually did hang people) after hearing the Canadian folk band Great Big Sea perform it, I never thought they would be a Tortle nor did I think their story would end in such a tumultuous way.

The ships boy would go to the top of the mast, grab the jib haliard and jump thus taking the slack out of said haliard and ride it down to the deck as the other men raised the sail. looking like he was hanging on the way down

In any case, I'm specifically refuting the assertion that was made that this is the same version that plays in Assassin's Creed III. In actuality, only the first verse and the repeated lines appear in both versions. This one uses the lines about hanging the singer's own family. There are versions that talk about hanging robbers, burglars, and corrupt and violent people as well; the version in ACIII uses only those lines. So kindly piss off.

No, the version in ACIII is completely different. This song is about how Hangin' Johnny hanged his whole family and likes hanging people because it's funny. The ACIII version is about how Hangin' Johnny would like to, hypothetically, hang certain bad people (and overweight monks) and nobody else.

This song is not about how "Hangin' Johnny hanged his whole family...". It's a halyard chantey sung when the topsails were hoisted. This website goes into more detail about the subject: mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=72779
