EBarnacle, just saw your question. If you are asking if "Homeward Bound and Outward Bound" (Get Up Jack, Let John Sit Down) is the same song as "Jolly Roving Tar" published in "Traditional American Folk Songs" by Anne Warner, I'm sorry to disappoint you-- "Homeward Bound and Outward Bound" in Prof. Frank's new book is a different song. It's more like the "Homeward Bound" (performed by Prof. Frank) that you find on the "Classic Maritime Music from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings" album. Or if you have a 1961 (unabridged) "Shanties from the Seven Seas," go to page 541. Prof. Frank's book also has a song titled "Jolly Roving Tar," provided with a tune from "Folksongs from Southern New Brunswick" by Helen Creighton, but it too is different from song in Warner's book. I recommend that you get this book if you are interested in this stuff. I can see I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time going through it.
