I misread Martin Ryan's note above. His Joseph Camppell and the one I noted were evidenly the same, and the song is probably in the 1904 collection. The song is Laws P15, and Laws says that Mackenzie gave detailed references in 'Ballads and Sea Songs from Nova Scotia'. Mackenzie cites many broadside and songbook printings. The earliest is a Boston broadside of c 1813. The song is also in 'The American Songster', 1836.
