Claimed on the sheet to have been composed by one Augustus Cull, 1855... However, such things are often actually 'arrangements', and it was common to try and lay claim on tunes that had been knocking around for awhile, something that continues to this day... 'copyright'...
Here is a simple ABC transcript of this, minus the 'intro' and 'trio':
