A different song, "The Whale," called an "old sea chantey," is found in the Silver Furdett Co. Music for Living series, "In Our Country," Book Five, James L. Mursell et al., 1952. It is not a work chantey, but a brief story of striking a whale, the boat capsizing and four men drowned. It seems to be a variant of "The Greenland Whale Fishery."

Note: The Silver Burdett text is the first five verses of the song identified as Greenland Fisheries in the Digital Tradition. The DT does not identify its source.
