There's a fair bit of detail in previous threads on the subject, so I'll just add briefly that Roxburghe quotes (in part) Sam Cowell's music hall re-working of the song (Oh, my Love's Dead!), followed by The Sorrowful Ladie's Lament (c.1673), apparently a broadside expansion of the earlier Captain Digby's Farewell.

Examples found in oral currency have tended to contain elements of the Cowell redaction and of the broadside quoted above; further, there are links with what may have been an historical incident at Whitby. Steve Gardham has done some work on that.

I placed a list of links to other material here (including this old, now revived, thread) at Constant Lovers.

The text posted by "Alaska Mike" borrows some words and structural elements from the song group, but otherwise looks to be a modern re-working (there have been plenty of those since the 17th century) probably from America. What is the tune?
