My Beautiful Wife, a fine pianist and (as I'm not) a sight-reader, played the tune given by Snuffy for me, and it's only remotely similar to the one I know for Be Kind te me Dowter. The DT has, I think, three versions of the old-maid-garret song and related songs. The Old Maid's Song is one title, and there are two called simply The Old Maid. I think I remember another, too.
