Roud lists two examples at present (no.1894): that in MacKenzie, and a further text in Fowke, Sea Songs and Ballads from Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia, where it is called The Blind Sailor. It's quite close to the one you quote, though longer. Fowke suggests a broadside origin, and in turn refers to a New Brunswick example printed by Phillips Barry, presumably in The Maine Woods Songster (about which I know nothing).

Where did your set come from? So far as I know, no tunes were recorded for any of those three published texts, though Fowke does say that Barry thought that it was probably intended to be sung to some form or other of Erin's Lovely Home.
