Mainly Norfolk referred to Roud and here it is - https://www.vwml.org/roudnumber/12380
Roud says it traditional but then refers to Lomax 1960.
An interesting reference to a similar song sung by menhaden fishermen sometime. No date sadly but some time after 1947 https://chesapeakebaymagazine.com/all-my-work-is-just-the-water/ -

When he returned, Jones started working on one of the boats out of Reedville, fishing for menhaden.
“I was the one who pushed myself into it,” he says. “I was just interested in it, that’s all. I respect the water. I loved the water, all the time.” He served as a rigger, pulling up heavy nets alongside a dozen other men. They’d keep the rhythm with chanties as they heaved the nets over the side of the vessel:

“Bye bye bye sweet Roseanne
Bye bye sweet Roseanna
I thought I heard my loving baby say
I won’t be home tomorrow”
