Yeah, she wants revenge - it makes sense. If she's going to die, then he should die as well - like Barbara Allan.

In the version I know, on the last verse it goes:-

If I live for one year more
And if God should grant me grace
I'll weep a bowl of crystal tears
To wash his deceitful face.

(I copied and pasted the version in my first post on this thread from the DT. I think that 'young' is a typo.)

Anyway, if she believes that she'll probably be dead in a year (through a broken heart), then revenge would make sense, (in the context of the song that is, NOT morally - you know what I mean) *BG*

Cheers,
