I have Sean Doyle's excellent CD, but there's no reference to the tune in the liner notes. The melody is the same that Gordon Bok sings on his CD “Return to the Land”. I only have an abbreviated CD booklet for that, and can't find the liner notes online, but the CD gives the credit Yeats/Bosson. If you look above in this thread on 12-11-04, Sandy Paton posted that the tune was composed by Joellen Bosson. So, not composed by either of the very talented Doyles, but that looks like the answer to your question.
