I know I have heard another song to this tune, which is not unusual with tunes from folk music. I can almost hear it in my mind, but the words are garbled in memory. Perhaps one of you knows it?
Harry McCormick's version of Big Rock Candy Mountain is the one I like best, but Tex Ritter did a good one too. Burl Ives' voice is just too smooth and bland for that song.

Maybe recovered it: Strolling in the Park One Day.

I can't bring it up, but Burl Ives pops into my head.
It's not quite the same, but it's very similar to "Sink the Bismarck." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Ufc2hI4FM
Also, what comes up in sheet music in the video, "In the Big Rock Candy Mountain."
