Here is the ABC notation for "The Seamen's Distress":

X:1
T:THE SEAMEN'S DISTRESS
M:4/4
L:1/8
S:Oxford Book of Sea Songs
R:Sea Song
K:G
D2|E3F G2F2|(3(E2D2)E2 B,2zB,|E2E2 FG{A}d2|B4","z2(GA)|
(B>A) (GA) B2(EG)|
A2(FD) B,2","(GA)|(B>c)(BA) (GE)(FD)|E6||


The commas in the above notation denote phrase breaks, I believe. I can easily produce a MIDI file from the ABC notation - if anyone wants that send me a PM with your e-mail address.
