Of course the song is very old, and is known in a number of different versions. The one Shirley Collins sings was collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams I believe.
Skylark is right to be reminded of Steeleye Span, because they recorded it, too. But they didn't make it up.

Steeleye Span had (has?) a fairly distinctive sound. Our singing group tried putting "Teach me my God and King" to their arrangement of "Searching for Lambs."
After recording it, the tutor said "Ah well, you got the words right"
Huh.

I tried to find the Steeleye Span arrangement but (along with many of their other songs) it is not on You Tube; perhaps the band is very strict about copyright infringment.
I'd like to hear the song as sung three or four hundred years ago - but alas, we will never get the chance. At least, not unless neutrinos get very, very clever.
