Pirate,
There is a U.S. prison work song with one similar verse. It is called "Early in the Mornin'" and is available on Alan Lomax's CD for the Library of Congress called Prison Songs, Vol. 1, Murderous Home. You can use the search engine to find a thread titles "Wookpecker Song" where Barry Finn has transcribed the relevant portions.
