I think the version published in THE EFDSS publication "CONSTANT LOVERS" may be the one that Bugsy is looking for.It was collect by Gardiner from a Henry Lee of Whitchurch, Hants in 1906 and although the tune is similar to the regular version - the song is sung much slower and has a very distinctive chorus.

Words will be posted later (no time at present) and I can also do a MIDI of the tune unless someone beats me to it.
