Wild Geese?

There is a fairly well known air - The Wild Geese which is a completely different tune to this. Looking at most of the recordings listed, I suspect they have the air and not this??

Air?

Is the original air posted anywhere? This tune has been in my tune book for so long, yet just looking at it now I see it's not the one I was looking for...
