Bruce & Stokoe (1882) print the lyric to the air, which begins:
Aboot the bush Willy, Aboot the beehive,
Aboot the bush Willy, I'll meet the belyve.
Then to my ten shillings, Add you but a groat,
I'll go to Newcastle, And buy a new coat.
The words can be found in several old nursery rhyme collections.
