The above song, ABOARD THE HENRY CLAY, also appears, with musical notation for the melody line, in:

Frederick Pease Harlow, Chanteying Aboard American Ships (Barre, MA: Barre Gazette, 1962), page 207.

Harlow doesn’t cite a source, but I suspect it is Lubbock. Harlow has only 6 verses, omitting 6 and 7, but otherwise, his text is nearly identical to Lubbock.
