Jovial Hunter or Abraham Bailey retains the witch & some of the supernatural aspects of the Boar that kilt 500 men as well as the old world disire of "your 'hawk, your hound, and your Gaily-Dee".

They met the old witch wife on a bridge,
Blow your horn, Center,
"Begone, you rogue; you've killed my pig,
As you are the jobal hunter.

She says, "These three things I crave of yourn,
Blow your horn, Center,
'S your 'hawk, your hound, and your Gaily-Dee,
As you are the jobal hunter."

He says, "These three things you can't have of mine."
Blow your horn, Center.
"Is my 'hawk, my hound, and my Gaily-Dee,"
Just like a jobal hunter.

He split the old witch wife through the chin,
Blow your horn, Center.
And on their way they went again,
As you are the jobal hunter.

Though as a song it is recent "Susanna Martin" the tune by Claudine Langille formely of the band Touchstone, the words are directly taken from the Salem Witch trials.

I think one also has to consider the culture of the song's source rather than just it's age or period. Take sailors of the Canadian Maritimes some of their songs of wrecks, the Ghostly Crew & another one the Ghostly Sailors & Captain Glen both collected on Devil's Island or Child #20, the Cruel Mother, collected in Maine & in the Appalachians still retained much of the supernatural with it's magic blood stain & the knife that "the farther she threw it the nearer it came". I suspect that Sailors hung onto their old world superstitions in the new world a lot longer than most but not all, so maybe it's not a mattter of religions at all but what group or culture hung on to those superstitions longer & why & where they settled. Just a thought.
