Great tune! It is Northumbrian, and composed by a fiddler called Whinham.
Piper Graham Dixon unearthed and published a whole collection of his
material about 6 years ago (don't have the details to hand). Bella MacNab's
Dance Band has been playing the tune since we began - we got it from an old
Topic Collection ('Bonny North Tyne' if memory serves me right - played by
Willie Taylor and Joe Hutton?). Bella Derek Hoy might be able to supply
abc's. Being a humble guitar basher I know nothing of these arcane arts.
