I'm looking for songs that can be sung well by men's voices, particularly if they are designed to be sung during physical activity (like sea shanties and running cadences). Also, preferably songs with manly lyrics.
I'm making a playlist on Pandora, so of course I'd prefer songs that are on there. Otherwise, I'd prefer songs that I can hear somewhere like YouTube, but feel free to recommend whatever you think fits, even if I'll never be able to hear it.
Trooper's Lament
Sixteen Tons
One in the Saddle, One on the Ground
Are all good examples, but I hope y'all have more I can look into.

There are a LOT of spirituals that fit this bill. That may be a direction to look. Of course, the setting matters, because the whole "church / state" thing.
Off the top of my head
How Great Thou Art
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Po' Lazarus
Lonesome Valley
Legend of John Henry's Hammer
I've Got Friends in Low Places
Ring of Fire
What do you do with a Drunken Sailor?
and (don't laugh, try it out)
Don't Worry, Be Happy. (You can also add in "extra verses" pretty easy).

Thank you! With the site changes, the option to edit my post has disappeared. Otherwise I would have clarified that I'm looking for songs to teach my son. We are Christians (well, I am... he's three years old and I'm not sure about the validity of his profession of faith last week).

Thought of a couple more
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
Big John
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
You Don't Mess Around with Jim
and (for laughs)
The Man Song by Sean Morey (although three may be a bit too young, yet, for that one)
