I'm trying to find a tune, lyric variations, and history for the following:

THREE JOVIAL HUNTSMEN

There were three jovial huntsmen
As I have heard men say
And they would go a-hunting
Upon St.David's day

All the day they hunted
And nothing could they find
But a ship a-sailing
A-sailing with the wind
One said it was a ship
The other he said nay
The third said it was a house
With the chimney blown away

And all the night they hunted
And nothing could they find
But the moon a-gliding
A-gliding with the wind
One said it was the moon
The other he said nay
The third said it was cheese
And half of it cut away

And all the day they hunted
And nothing could they find
But a hedgehog in a bramble bush
And that they left behind
The first said it was a hedgehog
The second he said nay
Thei third said it were a pincushion
And the pins stuck in wrong way

And all the night they hunted
And nothing could they find
But a hare in a turnip field
And that they left behind
The first said it were a hare
The second he said nay
The third said it were a calf
And the cow had run away

And all the day they hunted
And nothing could they find
But an owl in a holly tree
And that they left behind
One said it was an owl
The other he said nay
The third said it was the evil one
And they all ran away

There were three jovial huntsman
As I have heard men say
And they would go a-hunting
Upon St.David's day

Any additions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jen
