According to G. Legman the original was the Scots "My daddy's a delver of Dykes" in Tea Table Miscellany and Orpheus Caledonius, but I'm not inclined to agree. See his comments at "My Father Was Hung (for sheep stealin)", #45, 'Roll Me in Your Arms', 1992. Dick and Susan have "Haben a Boo and a Banner" on a cassette tape, so maybe we'll have that version with tune on the next DT release.
