Does Anyone Know the Lyrics to "Sidi Brahim" by John Renborn?

I have been trying to find them, but since it is not a popular "rock" song, it is not available on any of the "song lyrics" websites I have found. It seems to be a narrative old European (Irish, maybe?) folk song, probably from mideaval times, about a 24-year-old woman, stuck in an arranged marriage with a 14-year-old boy. She seems to fluctuate between accepting the situation and rebelling against it, and eventually ends up killing him.

There are some verses, however, where the words are too mumbled and garbled to understand them.

Update:

I made a mistake - the name of the performer(s) was mis-spelled. It is the John Renbourn Group (Renbourn with a "u".)
