'Fraid not. Sorry. Now you can see why it's been so difficult for me to find it in a Child Ballad Collection. I only heard my father sing it, and unfortunately he died a number of years ago. All I have to go on is the tune, as I wrote it above. I have a vague notion that it was about a king, but that doesn't help me at all. Since I have moved to Yekkowknife, Northwest Territories, I have not had the access to resources that I would like (until the DT database and discussion group!)
Thanks for your help; I'll find it someday.
