One of the sources I found was the Northern Broadsides Education Rersource Pack.

I couldn't find a complete script on line, but copied the verses that I could find. (The script is for sale on the Northern Broadsides website.)
But I have found a video with Mike Waterson singing his song! The words are slightly different but a little indistinct.

The Northern Broadsides theatre company is well known for performing Shakespeare in northern English accents - which may well be closer to the English Shakespeare spoke than the Received Pronunciation of today.
