I believe that they branched from each other because they make use of the same tune, and they are both songs to do with gifts to/from a lover. Although to be fair, tunes to get shared, and a lot of folk songs are about giving gifts ??. I’ve not been able to find any information on the song in question, aside from the fact that the tune is identical to that of the riddle song.
