Joe, the one you have linked to is the big ship sails on the alley-alley-o which is a different song entirely, and a childrens' playground rhyme.

Chanteyranger wanted the one found by Sorcha, The East Indiaman which was written by Tom Lewis, presumably taking the related words from the older rhyme, as Jude says.
