No difference. I've most often seen it in 3/4.

There is an argument that waltzes ought be notated in 6/8 (as they originally were in Mozart's time) - the steps take six beats to complete. Maybe somebody was thinking of Eileen Aroon as a waltz - it dates back to about the time waltzes were invented.
