I have a recording that has "Weevily Wheat" on it, but it has nothing in common with "Wheat in the Ear" (as it appears in _Captains Courageous_) except the refrain. I have wished for 30 years to know the whole song, because it must be one hell of a song -- the whaler's lament that he never gets to see his wife thru a pregnancy. The bits recorded by Kipling are:

Now Aprile is over and melted the snow,
And outer Noo Bedford we shortly must tow;
Yes, out o' Noo Bedford we shortly must clear,
We're the whalers that never see wheat in the ear.

    Wheat-in-the-ear, my true-love's posy blowin';
    Wheat-in-the-ear, we're goin' off to sea;
    Wheat-in-the-ear, I left you fit for sowin';
    When I come back a loaf o' bread you'll be!
