Originally I thought this was a sea shanty but when I researched the song it is actually classified as a folk song. It is about a young woman attempting to find her a lover, a sailor, only to learn that he drowned and she mourns him. The ending of this version implies she shipwrecks and may die as well.
It was published in the 18th century, and many versions have been done of it since then.
