GUEST,chris@worldsong.co.uk English song about marriage warnings (22) RE: English song about marriage warnings 24 Jan 06


Thanks so much for all the suggestions so far. Many of them I'd already found, but many are new to me.

Sadly none are really what I'm looking for!!! Maybe there are no warnings from mothers or families against wife beating in the English-speaking world! Or maybe it was a taboo subject.

I'm searching for songs, probably sung at weddings, which specifically mention or warn against husbands beating or ill-treating wives once they're married -- not just infidelity, or warnings against getting married at all (although I do go along with that!!).

Perhaps I'm asking the impossible?
