Gibb Sahib Lyr Add: 'Sally Brown' (34) RE: Lyr Add: 'Sally Brown' 18 Sep 20

Lighter -

Hmm, there is a vague similarity in form and the phrase "Liverpool liner," but they are nowhere near close enough to say the Sweeney's Men version is from the Folk Song Society article. Unless... they just glanced at it, said to hell with the tune and we'll make up lyrics / cull them from various places. And no extra beat after the bobbins in JFFS.

Here's my example of the bit in
1914        Sharp, Cecil J., A.G. Gilchrist, and Lucy R. Broadwood. “Sailors’ Chanties.” Journal of the Folk-Song Society 5(18):31-44.
"Sally Brown" in JFFS (1914) sung by Gibb Sahib
