Thanks, TomB, for that unpublished text.

I'll bet that Sharp mixed that in to the published version from English Folk-Chanteys. The version there, noted above, was collected from Henry Bailey. However, Sharp notes in general that he sometimes added verses from other individuals. In this specific case, he does say that the "matelot" verse came from Short. He doesn't say the "hoozier" verse came from short, rather he says that SHort explained to him what it meant -- perhaps implying that that verse was from Short, too.

The two singers' tunes would be different, and Sharp being who he was would have put weight on the tune. He'd have said the EFC was from Bailey only if he'd used Bailey's tune.

In sum: The version in Lowlands is most likely that of Bailey with the additional 1 or both manuscript lyrics of Short tacked on.
