Helen Hartness Flanders recorded Charles Finnemore of Bridgewater Maine singing this on 5/8/1942. I have included a transcription of it which appears in my new book "Bygone Ballads of Maine- Songs of Ships & Sailors" which is now at the printer, available in 2 weeks. Published by Loomis House- 165 songs with tunes, lyrics and background notes.
