On the fourth day of October I watched him coming home,
          Not thinking on a danger as he walked all alone,
          When like some hungry wolf or lion I sprang upon my prey,
          Twas with a fork I stabbed him and took his life away.
  
                  "Wexford Girl" from MacEdward Leach and the Songs of Atlantic Canada

An interesting Maritime version-with-voice from the vast song family. (Great web site, too; a fitting homage to one of the great scholar/collectors.)
