this is a capstan shanty used by the wool traders who worked the ships between Australian ports and London, England. It's also become known as a farewell song, some of the sailors became so attached to it, they requested it on their death beds.
Although it's in referenced in the Brian Jacques, the song is much older than Jacques or Gaelic Storm. It's 17th/18th century.
