Steve Gardham Traditional Tune used by John Tams (2) RE: Traditional Tune used by John Tams 09 Dec 23

It has a few similarities. If it's the one I'm thinking of it goes under a variety of titles. It's at least 18th century. My Master Title is 'The Farmer's Toast' but broadsides just title it 'The Farmer' or 'The Social Fellow'. There's a version called 'The Jolly Farmer' in some of Healy's Irish ballad books. The book Marrow Bones has a version called 'The Farmer's Toast'.
