Here's a version I transcribed from the Flanders collection

THE RAMBLING FEMALE SAILOR
Jack McNally, Stacyville, Maine 8/28/1942
Helen Hartness Flanders Collection, Middlebury VT
Note: Recording is compromised
Singer's phrasing became uneven and breathless after the first verse

Come all you boys from far and near
And listen to my ditty
Whilst I do tell of a come-lie maid
And she was both young and pretty
This maid's true love was pressed away
And drownded in some foreign sea
Which caused this fair maid for to say
"I will be a rambling sailor"

With the jacket blue and trousers white
Just like some sailor neat and tight
And the raging seas was the heart's delight
Of the rambling female sailor
From stem to stern she would free-lie go
She braved all dangers and feared no foe
But soon you'll hear of the overthrow
Of the rambling female sailor

This maiden gay did a wager lay
She would go aloft with any
Aloft she went as they do tell
Where she'd been ofttimes many
In going aloft as they do tell
She missed her hold and down she fell
And she careless-lie bid this world farewell
Did the rambling female sailor

And when her snow white breast was seen
They took her to be some foreign queen
Miss Rebecca Young it was the name
Of the rambling female sailor
On the river Sames she was known right well
And few of the pretty girls could her excel
But one fatal call was the sad downfall
Of the rambling female sailor
