One of Cecil Sharp's later-collected chanties was "Bulldog, Don't Bite Me."

Notated from the singing of Robert Wheelwright ("a youngish fellow") in New York on March 18, 1916.

“Bulldog Don’t Bite Me” – “Sailor’s Pulling Chantey”

Every tooth he had was iron M4 S4 F4 L4 / S4 M4 R4 D4
Bulldog, don’t bite me          M4 D2 s4 / D2 D4[-4]
Every tooth he had was iron
Bulldog, don’t bite me
O you hound-dog S^2. M4 / F2 L2
Bulldog, don’t bite me M4 D2 s4 / D2 D4[-4]
O you hound-dog
Bulldog, don’t bite me

It has the feature that I've observed as a pattern in Caribbean chanty singing, where either occasionally or regularly-- it's impossible to tell which in this excerpt -- the chantyman sings a fixed line (as opposed to a variable, one-off verse lyric) and often to a different melody. (That same feature makes up the notable "third line" in a few famous deepwater chanties like "John Kanaka".)

For comparison, here's The Barouallie Whalers performing their rendition of "Bulldog."
There's also a Lomax recording of a rendition from Nevis.
