Apart from the line "The wind has blown my plaid away" in the chorus, the song Jockey's Lamentation doesn't seem to bear any resemblance to any version of the Elfin Knight, but is simply a love song about a young man duped by a faithless (heartless?) girl friend.

The tune is "Over the Hills and Far Away" better known for a propaganda song about Malborough's campaigns during the reign of Queen Anne and, in modified form, is the tune to "Tom, Tom the piper's son".
