Is this Bach?

Can anyone identify this tune? I was told that it is J.S. Bach, and it sounds familiar, but I cannot place it.

I don’t recognise it, and I went looking through the thematic index (limited to incipits of the instrumental works) in the current BWV but drew a blank.
Is there any clue as to the context? Is F major the correct key and the note values the correct length? (One could imagine them being half those values.)
Cheers, PML

It's the final chorus from BWV 212.

Ah, the
peasant cantata (not exactly my favourite Bach). More a duet than a chorus (Wir gehn nun, wo der Tudelsack). Thanks Boccacio.

Thank you Boccaccio! PML-It was from an "arrangement" that kids are singing in a school chorus. There was no indication that F was the original key -- just the key of the arrangement. Thanks for your interest. D
