I've also heard this song at Inverness Folk club in the 1980's. The guy who sang it said he came across it on an old '78 belonging to his Grannie, and it was recorded by Lonnie Donegan.

I remember a verse:

Josepheus was a wicked man,
..............(can't remember),
He stole his Father's coffin lid,
To make a henhouse door.
