Two other snippets on this song: a closely related song is the shanty "Little Sally Rackett". More or less the same tune, with "haul him away" replacing "hill and gully". And Edric Connor(I speak from memory, I may be wrong), the Trinidadian singer. sang Hill and Gully Rider in "Moby Dick", while rowing in a whale-boat (or possibly while pulling on one of those rope things that figure so heavily in films of that nature).
