GUEST,Katie McC Lyr Req: Martinmas Time (9) Lyr Req: Woman dressed as Man 16 Dec 07


I'm looking for the title and lyrics (and recording) for a song about a woman who makes a wager with a soldier that she can sneak into town without him noticing. She dresses up as a soldier and the men at the gate give her money to stay at the Inn in town. I think it is an Irish song, since I heard it on Fiona Ritchie's Thistle and Shamrock a number of years ago. I've found other songs about women dressing up as men, such as William Taylor, or female Highway robbers, but those are not it. Does this sound familar to anyone?
