[Nz-folk] Come All you tonguers - tune?

[John Archer]

I am putting together a web page on "Come all you Tonguers."
  (An old whaling chanty, not a rude rugby song. OK?)

I've transcribed the tune from Colquhoun's "Song of a Young Country" 
but his third line seems to be different from my memory of what is sung 
today. Can anyone help me?

Doh = C, ray = D, me = E, fa = F, So = G

Colquhoun has
   A  |  job    for   the  | young-ster  or |
ray | Doh, Doh, ray  |    me,   me, fa |

  old---    and | ail  - ing---|
  meee,  ray  | me,  meee |

But  I thought it is now usually sung going up to "So" at the end of 
that phrase, and maybe with a couple more "the's" added

   A  |  job    for   the  | young-ster or the |
ray | Doh, Doh, ray  |    me,  me,  fa-a   |

  old  and the |  ail - ing---|
  me, me, ray | me, Sooo |

The draft webpage is here.
