In shanties they were used during work as a rhythm thing, everyone would hoist the sail while singing Wey-hey, heave-ho, etc., so I think some of the nonsense lyrics could come from work songs. I imagine the form might be something like, verse by a solo voice, then nonsense chorus where the group does some bit of work at the same time.
