This is the tune used by Pentangle and others for Willy O' Winsbury (Child #100). The story of this tune being attached to W O' W may almost be urban myth but apparently someone looked up the tune and mistakenly got the tune to another Child ballad. I don't know which one but here is Bronson's tune No. 7 for Gill Morice (Child Maurice) Child #83. If you change the time signature and swing it a bit you'll probably hear the similarity.
