Gibb Sahib, that could be the recording I remember, but I don't recognize some of those words. I would have thought I'd remember the dream verse, which would tie it into the "I dreamed a dream the other night" Lowlands -- the one I sing.

The tune in the recording is about the same as what I remember, although there are some decorations that make me almost sure it's a different recording.

Thank you for finding it anyway, and demonstrating that it is indeed the same chantey and not the completely different song she evidently recorded later on.
