A glee club special, perhaps?
I was unable to set the note length appropriately (the ABC was using L:1/4, so I'm afraid the sheet music won't come out correctly...)

Sheet music looks fine, and the ABC uses L:1/8, which is the default on this site for virtually all the tunes posted.

Some kind person has changed the note lengths.

Mason's Apron
Sounds like a version of Mason's Apron to me.

Re: Mason's Apron
Related, but definitely not the same tune - it has quite a different character when played for a session/dance. The second part really stands out. Some people add a third part which I don't think adds much to the whole thing.
