I know it's off topic but, since Will Fly asked, the Robin Dransfield song that he linked seems to be a compilation of two versions: one from William Moat, a Whitby fisherman, noted down in 1891 (opening verses in the major key), and a second - minor mode - possibly adapted from the one Cecil Sharp collected in Goathland in 1913. Here's my arrangement of the second one.

(Ah so that's how Soundcloud works!)
