There is a version sung by Gordon Bok on, I 'believe', a Smithsonian production of "Songs of the Sea"...there IS a version in the Database, but it doesn't have that line.The version in the datebase is a sort of play-party song that usually includes dancing...(saw John McCutcheon lead it at a dance once)

Gordon's goes something like it, with the verse you quote inserted to make just a song about going to sea and returning, and some of the play-party verses removed...it is hard to give a definitive version of it.

Gordon's version has a wonderful symmetry with verses going 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 where you end on the verse you started,,,I'll see if I can get down to the archives later and remind myslf of the order
