1915        Meloney, William Brown. "The Chanty-Man Sings." _Everybody's Magazine_ 33(2) (August 1915): 207-217.

Most of Meloney's stuff is copied/plagiarized. For instance, he presents the exact wording of Masefield's "Lowlands," however he inserts it into a narrative in which he claims to have heard a tall Norwegian man singing it!! So yes...I also recommend skepticism in the case of his chanty forms.

For "Rio Grande," he presents a Frankenstein's monster which uses the exact melody from Bradford and Fagge's collection, with a different text tacked onto it. The matching does not work; the phrasing does not fit the music; the patchwork is obvious. As for the words, I don't know where they come from, but they come closest to LA Smith's.

This source is not reliable!

The Rio Grande

The ship she's a-sailing out over the bar.
Away Rio! Away Rio!
The ship she's a –sailing out over the bar.
We are bound to the Rio Grande!
