Jonathan,
The Alnwick version has only got 44 lines. The Bates printing c1712-20 has got 25 double stanzas, title 'The Female Sailor's Garland' (Douce 183) and the Garnett of Sheffield version (1748) has 20 double stanzas, title 'A new Song Call'd The Faithful Lover.'

I'll check them both out to see if they both still have the same proper nouns in them.
