I have a cassette of John Renbourn Toronto concert where he sings another song about a traveller that seems to be different from the ones above and the one that is sought.

SANDWOOD DOWN TO KYLE
As recorded by John Renbourn on "John Renbourn's Ship of Fools" (1988)

On Monday morn as I walked out
The wild birds for to see,
I met a man upon the road
And asked for charity.
I met a man upon the road
And asked for charity. (The second couplet of each verse is repeated throughout.)

Come home with me and drink your fill
And comforts you shall find;
And tell me why you walk the road
That leaves the hills behind.

For time has spent the summer, sir,
And soon the leaves will fall.
I hear the sound within the wind
That plays around your wall.

The bird must flee the winter, sir;
She cannot stay behind
To build her nest upon the snow,
Nor can I look for mine.

And if I had a hundred homes
To live in each a while,
I'd build them all along the coast
From Sandwood down to Kyle.

Two place names that I could not make out. Perhaps this has a title and is on another one of Renbourne's recordings.
