Wolfgang: I think you are the first person in this thread who has spotted that the narrator of the song might not be telling the truth. Mudcatters tend to believe anything they read on the internet, or in this case anything they hear in a song, but I think you've got the measure of him. He wants people to believe what a noble sort of chap he is, so he's made up all this baloney to get our sympathy. I doubt if he ever shagged her, he probably wanted to but she wouldn't let him. Guilty as charged, for sure.
