Saro - eleven months late, but Barry Dransfield has a last verse to 'Gypsy Davey' on his 'Wings of the Sphinx' album which goes:

The Master he went home that night
And took good care of his baby-o
And e're six months had passed and gone
He's married another lady-o.

Not quite what you mentioned, but a (presumably) satisfactory conclusion for the husband.
