Tune Req: Wran song from Sikes, British goblins

In provincial names of british birds there is a reference:

"Mr. Sikes, in his most interesting work" british Goblins," gives the music of the above song adding that the ballad was a very long one..."

I have checked google books where the section is not provided and an e text....not there...

Anyone have this? Perhaps do abcs or scan the music...

Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance.
