Oscar Brand's version (sung in a faux-Cockney accent like Dick Van Dyke's in "Mary Poppins") appeared on Brand's LP "Old-Time Bawdy Sea Shanties Vol. 5" (Audio Fidelity AFSD 5884) (1958).

It's really "Vol. 5" of his "Bawdy Songs" series.

Brand's version is much like the others, though shorter. There's no indication of where he got it.
