I know this rhyme from my childhood and the tune is Lillibullaro a Northern Ireland marching song. It is a satirical ballad said to be by Lord Thomas Wharton and set to music by Henry Purcell. I made a musical box of the rhyme when I was a student in London in the 70's and Iona Opie helped me to identify the tune.
