As I recall, the tune in the movie is almost identical to that of the stanzas (not the refrain) in Steeleye's "Sheep Crook and Black Dog."

It must be used for other songs as well, but I can't think what.

I think it's far superior to the usual "Patriot Game" tune, and it dispenses with the annoyingly repetitive chorus.
