Where commonwealth congregations generally opt for Mombach's melody for Hodo Al Eretz, US congregations typically favour Salomon Sulzer's melody. However in my experience the way it is often sung bears only a cursory resemblance to the original piece, derailing entirely towards the end, and you can find several recordings online which attest to this. Notably, Sulzer's composition is written in 3/4 time and maintains the waltz-like feel throughout.
