Poor Willy

I am looking for the lyrics to a folk song I used to hear quite a lot at the Herga folk club in the 60s.It was about poor Willy who met his end by drowning in a barrel of beer. The chorus goes something like:

Beer, beer, loverly beer up to his neck in great barrels of beer.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
