I've always enjoyed the Seamus Ennis version of this song as recorded by Alan Lomax - I have it on an international sampler of Lomax's recordings. Unless I'm missing the boat entirely, it seems to be a fairly straight forward story about an eager young man courting an even younger girl and being fairly happy about it until the subject of fidelity/marriage comes up, at which point he hightails out of there. |
