Doug Olsen of Oak, Ash, & Thorn was kind enough to send me the lyrics to this song which he got from an old Forebitter album. I'll post the melody once I've learned it correctly.

Chaunticleer
Sung by Forebitter

We pulled into port on Saturday morning
Chorus: Johnny get up let's go
With nine months pay we were ready for rolling
Chorus: Johnny get up let's go
And the New York women were ready for a week
Chorus: Johnny get up let's go
With our pockets full of money we hit the street
Chorus: Johnny get up let's go

Full chorus:
Johnny get up we miss you so
Johnny get up it's time to go
When your hard earned cash is gone
It's get out of here Johnny let Jack sit down

(And they said)
Where have you been my sailor honey
We missed your sweet lips and your money
Then round the town in a very fine fashion
They spent our money on our own sweet passion

Now me and the boys we was full of hell
And the tricks of the old trade we knew well
So we made a ready vow that before the end
We'd have a [mare?] house of sweet revenge

Then it's back to the house of 14th street
Where they offered us liquor and other fine treats
But me and the boys went light on the swill
Seeing to it that the women all drank their fill

Then down the stairs in the dead of the night
We left 'em breakfast in bed by the morning light
We filled their beds with the sailor's chowder
Seaweed, fish-heads, dust, gunpowder

We took all their gear and away we run
We was back on the ship by the morning sun
And we pulled out of port this Monday past
With their fine frilly underwear hangin' from the mast

So all you women that own the street
And who live the lives of the indiscreet
Take my warning and beware
Of the boys of the good ship Chaunticleer
