It's a 'maypole dance' called Barwick Green from the suite My Native Heath, written in 1924 by the Yorkshire composer Arthur Wood.

Well, you could just write them down yourself couldn't you? After all, it's played often enough...

If I could write music I could. If my ear was sharp enough I could learn it from the radio.

I can't really read dots bit I can figue tunes out given time, dots and memory.

A quick search found versions in MIDI format. It is not too hard to convert them to dots via something such as Mudcatter Pavane's HARMONY software.
look Here!
OR Here!
For links to Harmony - just type it into the Mudcat Thread Filter box with a 90 day window. You should find a reference.
Quack!
