Here's the tune from Glenn Ohrlin's The Hell-Bound Train. Doesn't sound like the Ian & Sylvia tune to me.

Lyrics from Ohrlin aren't much different from what's posted above.
Q keeps telling me I haven't got the right tune, but I'm transcribing exactly what I see in the songbooks. I think if I left out the ornamentation from the Ohrlin tune, it would sound pretty much like the Ian & Sylvia version. Q says the Almeda Riddle version (from A Singer and Her Songs) is going to soung like Ian & Sylvia, but I don't think so.
