I don't know where this version is originally from or where you found it but this is very very very similar to a song called "The Rattlin' Bog" from the east coast of Canada.

I grew up hearing this song played at Legions and firehall dances all the time.

Yes, the maypole is part of the Midsummer Festival which originated in Germany most likely in the late 17th or early 18th century.
