Always exciting when I find a Child Ballad where the only other version up on YouTube is the one by @raymondcrooke :

Another find ballad in the theme of fathers running through the young men they find in their daughter's beds.

Two variants of the text here:

Not sure why Masiry/Margerie seem to be interchangeable.
