I've just found both versions on youtube. The original one is performed as a Music Hall song here. Back in the 60s we heard John Foreman, the Broadside King, singing this on one of the Folk Song Cellar radio programmes and Mitch used to sing it. The other version - the one in DT, comes from Trout Fishing in America. There are several copies in youtube but the one I found most entertaining is a mimed version by two kids, The Griffin boys.
