The 'Haarmann' tune belongs to a sentimental waltz tune of the time, called, "Warte warte nur ein Weilchen, dann kommt auch das Gl쳌ck zu dir". Having known the Haarmann song all my life, I've now forgotten how the original lyrics go on.

Re shanties: I have the German edition of an older (and smaller) Stan Hugill collection which contains a few German and Low German shanties. Did you have a particular song in mind? I cound look it up, or else type out the ones I've got by and by. - Susanne
