If you mean the early 19th century broadside song usually called "John O'Grinfilt's Ramble" or similar, I have a tune for it which Mike Harding gave in his Folk Songs of Lancashire (1980) which I can send you if you'd like.  I don't know where he got it from, mind.  There are some copies of this song, and others about the eponymous hero, at  The Bodleian Library Broadside Collection, for example:

Jone o'Greenfield's ramble/ Jone's Ramble from Grenfelt to Owdham.
