So you don't think you're talking to yourself, the tune given on the site you quoted above from Folk Song In England (also given by Lloyd earlier in Come All Ye Bold Miners, in a different key - G Aeolian rather than D Aeolian) is the tune I've always hears it sung to. The tune in the DT, while obviously related, I've never heard anyone use.
