Assuming that everyone knows the "standard" familiar tune to this rhyme - does anyone know of any other tunes in existence for this ditty, or regional variations to the "standard" tune?

I've never heard of another tune, and I didn't see any mention of one when I did my research for this entry, sorry about that.

I'm not sure how to 'sing' it on the internet.  You could try a search on google to see if you can find the music to it. Someone must have had to play it sometime or other.
I won't suggest that you attend any kids party, because they don't seem to play games anymore.

G G E G E C D E F D G E C
Should be the first couplet as far as I can do. Like bells in arpeggios.
Second couplet is basically the same tune.
D B D B G A B C A D B G
Is possibly the third (I'm guessing intervals here. Don't have an instrument in the room)
4th is similar
D B D G A B C A D G
Then the next (here comes a candle...) is basically the same as the first.
G E G E C D E F E D C (here comes a chopper to-o chop off your head)
Then 'chops' are spoken/shouted. I've only given the bones, I'm sure you can get the rhythm and repetitions.
