Another is a main-hatch adaptation of an old hunting round.
The original, Captain Tayluer said, ran as follows:

SOUTHERLY WIND
(Round)

Oh, it’s a southerly wind and a cloudy sky
Proclaim it a hunting morning!
Before the sun rises away we’ll fly
Dull sleep in a downy bed scorning.
To horse, me brave boys, and away!
Bright Phoebus the hills is adorning,
The face of all nature looks gay.
’Tis a beautiful hunting morning!

Chorus
Hark, hark, forward,
Tally ho, tally ho, tally ho!
And it’s hark, hark, forward.
Tanara, tanara, tanara!

I hope this link works - it's to a recording at the Nova Scotia Archives:

Note that this version has "Tarara tarara, tara" in the chorus. This seems to me to be more likely than the "tanara" in the Doerflinger version. I wonder if that's a typo in Doerflinger.
