Although not a chantey, there's a forebitter called "Give Me The Punch Ladle." There is a nice recording of it on a folkways album from 1976 of colonial and revolutionary war era sea songs and chanteys sung by John Millar and Cliff Haslam. Ricky Rackin in Northern California sings a forebitter called "Michael Blann's Drinking Song." The other messages here should give you some good leads concerning chanteys.
