In the 1970s I heard a lovely recording of this song and only remember. these few lines ( and the tune); can anyone tell me where to find the remaining words?

A lady come to our hall door.
She’s the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen.
She’s a cloth of gold round her middle small
that would buy Northumberland and set it free.

Many thanks!

It's a version of Young Beichan/Lord Bateman
