Agreed, it goes to the 'limerick' tune, which is a variant of "In & out the windows/Early in the morning", with a variant of the "That was a beautiful rhyme, Sing us another one, do!", chorus.

But I just tried it out to the "Brighton Camp", aka "Girl I left behind me" air; and it can be fitted to that also. Or for that matter to any ballad-metre song -- which, as I never tire of saying, are metrically interchangeable & it's a matter of convention which ballad goes to which tune.

What was that again, about Willie o' Winsberry aka Fause Foudrage?
