My Great Great Great Grandmother had another 2 verses in her journal of the Big ship song.
they were;
The crew got sick on the alley alley o
The alley alley o, the alley alley o,
The crew got sick on the alley alley o,
On the last day of September.

The captain said paint a cross upon the sail,
A cross upon the sail, A cross upon the sail,
The captain said paint a cross upon the sail,
On the last day of September.


Then the it says the next verse as the never never do one!!
