does anybody know a bothy ballad that has a chorus with

tu ra lu ra lay
i'll caw yer horse i'll sort yer nowk i'll beg a rick astray
i'm happy as a lark from dawn till dark singing all the day
o' lufetytu ra ly do tu ra lu ta lay

or something like that. i thought it was called either jolly ploughboy or roving ploughboy but it doesn't appear to be either .
