Jim,
"English" lord makes sense but it is not traditional, in my opinion. I know of no other versions from North America that have this. I consider this version a recreation from print or possibly a traditional version. The use of "gypsy laddie" is also questionable, since it is very rare and not found, to my knowledge, in that region.
