It seems to be a variant of the Irish song "Dick Darby the Cobbler" or simply "The Cobbler". The DT or "Yet another Digital Tradition" (to be found over the links page) should provide you with complete versions (the latter one plus notation). The Max Hunter Collection (also accessible over the links page) contains an American version called "Dick German the Cobbler".

All the best
