It's a folk song, so it has a lot of names (most of them containing the words "Grene Sleves" or similar variant spellings). The melody for the song is also used for the Christmas song "What Child is This?" and a variant was used as the closing theme of the Lassie TV show.
I don"t know about the movies, but the traditional theme song-always instrumental on the television Lassie- at least the Campbell Soup or Lockhart-Provost Lassie was always, at the end- they did not have an introductory themes song- Greensleeves, also known as What Child Is This, which is , of course a Christmas Song.
The name of the song is The SBLI Jingle.
Aura Lee is a French folk song.
A broadside ballad by this name was registered at the London Stationer's Company in 1580[1] as "A New Northern Dittye of the Lady Greene Sleeves". It then appears in the surviving A Handful of Pleasant Delights (1584) as "A New Courtly Sonnet of the Lady Green Sleeves. To the new tune of Green sleeves." The tune is found in several late 16th century and early 17th century sources, such as Ballet's MS Lute Book and Het Luitboek van Thysius, as well as various manuscripts preserved in the Cambridge University libraries.There is a persistent belief that Greensleeves was composed byHenry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. Boleyn allegedly rejected King Henry's attempts to seduce her and this rejection may be referred to in the song when the writer's love "cast me off discourteously". However, Henry did not compose "Greensleeves", which is probably Elizabethan in origin and is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after his death!

It's "Greensleeves" Alas, my love, you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously. Greensleeves were all my joyGreensleeves were my delight.
It's certainly not explicitly one in the lyrics, being essentially a love ballad.
The song "Greensleeves" is believed to have been written in the late 16th century, with various theories suggesting it could have been composed by Henry VIII or another anonymous composer of the time.
The melody is also used for the Christmas carol "What Child Is This."
