As I recall, Pears's tune was the same as the usual American tune, given by Carl Sandburg in 1927.

Sandburg actually has two tunes and texts, both bowdlerized.

Hard to believe "The Foggy, Foggy Dew" was once thought to be a partially unprintable song, but it was showing up - with "the damn near died" line - in _sub rosa_ drinking song collections into the 1960s.
