26 april 2013 I remember this song as a child during or just after the second world war. I recall this verse along with those previouly
mentioned.
                     
To my dear daddy a sailorman bold.
On his big ship on the foam /On his big ship on the sea.
Tell him his little boy does love him so.
And will he return back home. /And will he return to me.
      
Hope this is of some help. There is certainly a tune for these lyrics.   


I remember as a child we had the sheet music for this song and my Mum
used to play it for us on the piano
