Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in The Amazing History of Troy Town has a character called Caleb singing:-
Oh, where be the French dogs?
Oh, where be they O?
They be down i' their long boats
All on the salt say,O!
Up flies the kite,
An' down flies the lark, O!
Wi' hale an' tow, rumbelow-'

Not quite sure that it scans to the tune, but obviously from a similar source.
Troy Town is a very recognisable Fowey, still the most beautiful sight you will ever see!
