History
The earliest print version of the song is from a collection of Cecil Sharp in 1904 from Captain Vickery of Minehead, Somerset, England. The song was described by American folklorist Kenneth S. Goldstein as, "A favourite shanty for windlass work, when the ship was being warped out of harbour at the start of a trip." ==Recordings==
