Subject: RE: who wrote 'the high sherriff, .....'

Buffy Sainte-Marie sang a version under the title Lazarus on Many A Mile (1965).

From memory it consists more or less the verses 1,2,3,5,6 (lowered him down rather than walked away,11(poor mother rather than sister) and 12 (Sheriff rather than Cap'n) with some slight changes.
