Since there are no links at the top yet, I'll mention that I posted some tunes for this (from Levy, American Memory and Helen Creighton) in this thread: Lyr Add: I Wandered by a Brookside , transposed to the same key for comparison. There is also a bit more information on the song.

Barry T's words (linked above) are the words given in Helen Creighton's Maritime Folk Songs (from Mr. Berton Young of West Petpeswick, N.S., collected Aug 1951) but the tune isn't exactly the tune from that book, though obviously related. According to the notes there, she collected another version (from Captain Martin Williams of Ostrea Lake) and the tune may be from that (the notes don't make it clear if the other version was with tune or not).
