If it the right song, it's a version of The Highwayman Outwitted and appeared in Logan's A Pedlar's Pack of Ballads and Songs, 1869, as The Maid of Rygate in 16 or so verses (Near Rygate there lived a farmer/Whose daughter to market would go/Not fearing that any would harm her/For often she rode to and fro).

I'm busy at the moment, but I'll try and put the words up later.
