Thanks for the Bellamy link.
In school long ago, we sang "A Capital Ship" at a fast clip. Sounds entirely different from the way Bellamy uses the tune.

chorus-
Then blow ye winds hi-ho
A-roving I will go
I'll stay no more on England's shore
So let the music play-ay-ay
I'm off to my love with a boxing glove
Ten thousand miles away.
