In the US what might be a version of the same basic song got around as Kitty My Love, sung, I think, by Richard Dyer-Bennett back in the 50s ... Its lyrics are mostly distinct but seem related.

Cho:   Kitty my love will you marry me,
          Kitty my love will you go, oh,
          Kitty my love will you marry me,
          Either say yes or say no, oh...

I have a bucket of praties,
And I have a ligget [?] of meal,
And I have a sheep in the corner,
He's tied to a tuppenny nail, oh,

I have a goose that is hatchin',
The goose eggs are under the bed,
And I have a goat that is greasin'
Way up to the tops of the hedge, oh,

I have a ballad, a ballad,
It's all about Kitty my dear, oh,
I have my granny's old cradle,
That she bade me rock in a year, oh,
