I se there was a slightly earlier edition of Angel's book in 1921.

Here's the version in Basil Lubbock's "Deep Sea Warriors" (1909):

        "'My Sal, she's a 'Badian bright mulatto,
                Wa-ay, sing Sally!
        Sally am de gal dat I lub dearly,
                Hi-lo, John Brown, stan' to yo' ground.

        "'Stan' to yo' ground an' walk him up likely,
                Wa-ay, sing Sally!
        Or de mate come around a-dingin' an' a-dancin',
                Hi-lo, John Brown, stan' to yo' ground.

        "'Seven long year I courted Sally,
                Wa-ay, sing Sally !
        Mebbe mor', but I didn't keep no tally,
                Hi-lo, John Brown, stan' to yo' ground.

        "'Her cheeks so red an' her hair so curly,
                Wa-ay, sing Sally!'"

"Here the chanty became unprintable until the last verse, which was quite irrelevant to the rest of it:

        "' Nebber min' de wedder, but keep yo' legs togedder,
                Wa-ay, sing Sally!
        Fair land o' Canaan soon be a-showin',
                Hi-lo, John Brown, stan' to yo' ground.'"

The final stanza should have been "unprintable" by 1909 standards also, but evidently nobody noticed. Harlow gives a somewhat different text with essentially the same final stanza. Angel's "England" seems euphemistic to me.

MacColl's version (on A Sailor's Garland) goes like this:

Sally is a gal that I love dearly
Way, hay, Sally O!
Sally is a gal that I love dearly
Hilo, John Brown, stand to your ground!

Bbarbadian beauty....
Always in a hurry to do her duty....

My Sally girl she's hard to beat, boys....
Always pulling at the old main sheet, boys ....

Sally, how shall I stow the cargo? ...
Stow some for'ard and stow some after....

Sally is a gal with long black hair, O! ...
She'll rob you blind and skin you bare O!...

Round her out and stretch her luff now....
I think, by God, we've hauled enough now....

Lloyd's liner note is typically chatty but gives no source for the text, which I suspect he or MacColl elaborated creatively.   

"'Hilo John Brown.' Many shanties sing of Hilo. Some say it means the sailor-town on the eastern side of Hawaii Island; some say that it refers to the dusty nitrate port of Peru; others say that, as often as not, it just means 'Hullo' or even 'Haul-o.' R. R. Terry heard this halyard shanty sung by Tyneside seamen, but it surely owes its origin to sunnier, southerly climates."

Terry says he'd only met two sailors who knew the song.

Hugill alone gives "Johnny Brown" in the chorus, which suggests to me that his version is authentic and at least partly independent. He silently "camouflages" the "fair land of Canaan."
