It's usually called "A Southerly Wind." Roud #9442. Not very widely known; it appears there are only three traditional collections. One of them (Patrick Taylor's, which appeared in Doerflinger's Songs of the Sailor & Lumberman, is supposed to be available at the Library of Congress (AFS 06567 B03), though the link I have for it is broken. It dates back at least to 1934. I have not seen any indication that the author is known.
