How about this one? - similar theme to Sandgate Girl's Lament.

I'll make for your daddy his favourite meal
Though he's a long time away on the keel
We'll dance a slow waltz and a homecoming reel
and I'll have a kiss from my Johnny

Chorus
Hey away, my own sleepy child
Hey away, lie still for a while
Hey away, just dream with a smile
For tomorrow we'll both see your daddy

My little one you've got your daddy's fine chin
Blue piercing eyes that show you are his kin
And though you're still small, well you know how to sing
Since you belong to my Johnny

Johnny he once was a clever young lad
Last night he drunk all the money we had
Early on he didn't act too bad
He looked as fine as any

Chorus

Your tired rosy cheeks they are dimpled and round
And like your dad you are sturdy and round
You're worth more to me than pennies and pounds
You're altogether bonny

When daddy gets drunk he will take up a knife
And shout and he'll threaten that he'll take my life
Who would not be a keelman's wife
To have a man like Johnny

Chorus

It'll soon be time to get breakfast fried
I'll sweep the ash from the coaly fireside
Then on your daddy's knee you'll take a ride
When he comes home to Mammy

Chorus

From CD "Two Year Winter" by Bill Jones
