Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dollar and a half a day: Percy Grainger
The version in question was collected by Grainger and H.E. Piggott. It was published in JFS 3, 1908, pp235-236. (Source: Roud index). The version published in Sharp's English Folk-Chanteys was from a different source (in fact two sources, according to the end notes).

I can't help with the words I'm afraid. However, if you have a recording already and just want to check the words have a look at the links to various versions in this thread: Lyr Req: Lowlands; many of the versions have similar lyrics.
