FWIW, the Stickle version is in Bronson, volume I, p. 275. It is not unreasonable to believe that the other version with a tune, the one Collinson collected, is a combination of the Stickle tune (perhaps from tradition, but the same tradition) with some lyrics derived from Child or one of his sources. I'm not saying Collinson did anything wrong (or Stickle, or anyone else). It's just that the Collinson version appears to have been fortified from print. To say it another way, it's the Stickle tune with words taken from Child or one of the printed sources for his version.
