It could be a later printing, but there is no indication. The copyright page gives: Enarged and Revised Edition Copyright, 1938, by W.W. NORTON & COMPANY, INC. 70 Fifth Avenue New York A FORMER EDITION OF THIS WORK ENTITLED "Roll and Go, Songs of American Sailormen" WAS PUBLISHED IN 1924 UNDER COPYRIGHT ISSUED TO THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY, INDIIANAPOLIS, IND. PUBLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE PUBLISHERS BY THE VAIL-BALLOU PRESS As you say curious! It would be nice to hear one of the Maitland recordings! The chorus given in Colcord is also interesting. The Sharp version has a simple Derry down. I wonder if the Merrily... chorus came from Maitland's version? Mick
