The text indicated in the Digital Tradition database is from an unnamed source, though I have added source information for the tune given with it elsewhere. The text Brian has posted has an additional verse, and is the one recorded by Martin Carthy. I have detailed his sources, too, in an earlier thread in which those lyrics were posted. See also

OUR CAPTAIN CALLS Another set in the DT: collated text from Stephen Sedley's The Seeds of Love, with tune.

Help: Fighting for Strangers Discussion mainly of the "Monks Gate" tune, but touching on various other matters. Includes the lyric from Carthy's record, and a post from me detailing the sources of that and the two sets of the song in the DT. There is also a transcription of a broadside copy from the Bodleian Library collection.

Lyr Req: there is no trusting or trust in men A request for the particular text used by Shirley Collins, in which I said I'd look it up and promptly forgot. Whoops.
