Regarding my father's version, learned I reckon in Glasgow in the 1930s, I worked out that his tune is a fairly close relative in march rhythm of 'Turkey In The Straw'.

I can't hear any resemblance to "Turkey in the Straw" in the usual tunes, all of which are extremely close.

Looked at the only tune shown above, and listened to a couple in links, none like my father's one, which was very much Turkey In The Straw, particularly in the second [chorus] strain.
He would have learned it as a Glasgow student in the 1930s, I do not have copies any more of editions of the The Scottish Students' Song Book, mentioned above. I wonder what tune would be in some edition of that?

Found this thread after googling the song, as we just heard a version in the ending credits of episode 2 of the Netflix show, House of Guinness.
