OK Steve- in 1975 Patrick Gainer gives a completely different text for the same informant (his grandfather)- and since Woofter "collected" it in 1924 and Patrick Gainer I'm sure knew- something is amiss.

The three basic ballads you mentioned:

Crafty Farmer
Maid of Rygate
Yorkshire Bite

There are two Roud numbers and the versions are all mixed up- I see no rhyme or reason for which ballad goes with which number.

Let me know about what Roud is doing here,
