Lyr Req: Daddy's on the bay?

I remember from somewhere the following snippet of lyrics; internet searches come up blank. Does anyone recognise the song and know the rest of the lyrics and tune?

Daddy's on the bay, he'll keep the pot boiling,
Keep all from tumbling/falling(?) down to ruin and away(?)

Thanks

Kit

Cape Breton Lullaby...I am sure it i s in the database..

Daddy is on the bay..he'll keep the pot brewing
Keep all from tumbling down tumbling down to rack and ruin
Pray Mary send him home, save over the foam

singing..(Gaelic chorus)

Thank you, Mary Garvey! I did look here. Not in DT, but lyrics posted here, in this thread. 2 Sets even. I'll refresh the thread and use an Add.

Oops, my bad. I really should have thought of trying 'Daddy is' rather than 'Daddy's'...

Thanks everyone
