The published melody is very different from the melody sung by most folk 
singers I've heard, but even that one is very much like traditional 
"magen-avos" 
nusakh, considered by many to be one of the older influences on Jewish melodies.

Penguin Book of English Folk Songs and found one or two that seemed to belong 
to 
the same tune family. According to the Mloteks it was published by ? Cahan in 
1913. Can anyone throw any light?
