Help: English Songs from Whitby, circa 1600

This is probably an odd request. I'm in the USA, with family (Massengills) from Whitby (left 1653). Any old songs from that era, or songs about Whitby?

Thanks!!!!

Wilco in Tennessee

I was going to say that "Whitby Maid" is he only song I know about Whitby. I'm surprised to see it's not in DT.

Blow, Blow you Northern winds
Blow you winds so cruelly
But none so cruel as a Whitby maid
For she'll deceive you surely

Not fom your period - I don't think, though there may have been a forerunner.
