Bob "Deckman" Nelson did a very nice recording of this on his Songs I Sing After Dark CD.

As leeneia says above (click) the song appears in a 2002 play titled The Dreaming of Aloysius by Louis Lippa.

Google Books says this song is on Page 148 of Volume 27 of English Dance and Song - anybody have that volume? Can you tell us what the article says about the song and its origins? I think we need to go a bit farther before we've found the origins of this song. So far, the the buck stops with the Burl Ives recording and Song Fest.
