The late Margaret MacArthur did an American variant called "The Weeping Willow Tree". One notable characteristic was that the little sailor/boy turned the tables on the treacherous captain.
John Roberts sings the Margaret MacArthur version, and it was posted just above by Desert Dancer - MacArthur got that version from Lena Bourne Fish.
