Just to confuse the issue still further: I was talking to my 82 year old mum today about this song - I remembered her singing it to me. Her father used to sing the same words as posted here, but the tune is different from both "Du lieber Augustin" and the one on the website mentioned by Joe. I'll see if I can put it down in some sort of intelligible notation on here.

Interesting how far afield this song is known: My mum and family were on a farm just outside Cardiff in South Wales.
