@Charley Noble,
I have found an old version of Kimber's Men singing this song here:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anefSoSvR6Y which was posted by the late Joe Stead. In it he says he got their version from Bob Webb of Maine. He does acknowledge it is "a version", so like many of C. Fox Smith's poems set to music it seems to have been subject to the folk process since some time before 2009.
