I don't know where this version is originally from or where you found it but this is very very very similar to a song called "The Rattlin' Bog" from the east coast of Canada.

I grew up hearing this song played at Legions and firehall dances all the time.

Its the maypole song from the original Wicker Man movie.

It's from Ireland, but makes sense it's common in Eastern Canada.
