Question for doc.tom, if he's passing...

You said upthread (a few years ago!) that

there were only three veses as collected - I added the other 'floating' veses which were slightly varied by Collins & Mageean

In fact the Short version you posted only has two verses, what we now think of as the first verse ("One Monday morning") & the refrain ("I'm going on board"). Did you add all three of the other verses that are in current use - "She's a deepwater ship", "Them Bowery girls" and "All around Cape Horn"? I'm interested that you refer to them as floaters - the second and third are fairly familiar from other places, I've never heard a "deepwater ship" verse in a shanty. Was this a borrowing too, and if so do you remember where from?
