Eckstorm & Smyth's book MINSTRELSY OF MAINE (1927) has a number of unique chantey texts (words only) that they collected. They're nice for the way they blur the lines between the chantey categories that have maybe become established through other published sources. E & S seem relatively uninfluenced by other published sources (they do mention Colcord), so there is no urge to squeeze them into others' labels. Well, that is just my impression.

Anyway, here's one of those texts.

Title: HILO

Arise, old woman, and let me in
    Way! hi-lo!
Arise, old woman, I want some gin!
    Hi-lo, somebody! hi-lo!

p. 236. Mrs. Laura E. Richards from Gardiner, Maine said the verses were learned in 1852 by her mother...on a sailing vessel bound from Italy to America.

Posting this in this thread to support the sources for the chantey best known as "Hello Somebody," which it seems closest to...
