You can hear a 'bit' of the Burl Ives version here

I have just listened to versions by Karen Casey,Caroline Herring, Bud & Travis, Christy Moore, Donovan, Dave Van Ronk and Judy Collins....

The only versions which come reasonably close to what Bill Kennedy posted on 2002 as THE tune are the original Burl Ives and Judy Collins. Bud & Travis start out kinda similar, but soon diverge. Christy Moore, using the 'basic' tune, does this kinda hesitant 'bounce' along the words...sounding very Irish, but to me, distracting.

I still have not heard anything to match Ives old acapella recording. (Dave Van Ronk does... well... Dave Van Ronk-ish guitar thumping)

A couple of the others just seem to have decided that they should 'make the song their own' ...and gone off at odd angles.
