I hear "So they say" also. The "catfish" line sounds right too. Will check later.
Cecil Sharp once recorded a stanza or two of "The Farmer's Curst Wife" sung as the shanty "Goodbye, Fare You Well"! Bronson has it.
Some years ago, for the heck of it, I put together a complete shantyized version. May post it, also FTHOI.
