This song has been mentioned on the 'Violence to Women' thread. I was surprised not to find it in the DT, though it may be there by some other name. The version I sing (from a Peggy Seeger book, but I can't remember the title), is:
^^
Must I be bound and you go free? Must I love one who ne'er loved me?
Why should I act such a childish part, to love a lad who would break my heart?

The first thing that my love gave me, it was a cap well lined with lead.
The longer that I wore that cap, it grew the heavier on my head.

And next he bought me a gown to wear, with sorrow stitched and lined with fear.
And the drink he gave me was bitter gall, but the blows he gave me were worse than all.

The third thing that my lad gave me, it was a belt with colours three.
The first was sorrow, the next was shame and the third it was sweet misery.

But I shall gain my liberty and I shall climb a higher tree
And I shall find a richer nest and be with one I may love best.
