Subject: Lyr Re: Celtic song heard 30ish years ago
This may or may not go anywhere. Whilst I was in college in the late '70 I heard a local PNW group, I believe it was the Howling Gael, do a song about a woman caught alone in the forest by one or more men, intent on raping her. This was in the mode of "dirty Elizabethan ballads". The woman asks politely to have what's between his legs, he agrees, dismounts, and she takes his horse and pistols and rides triumphantly off. That is pretty much my whole memory of the song.

Does that ring any bells, however faint, out there?

Thanks in advance.
