The last posting should read "The 'Butcher Boy' is a different song altogether and usually deals with a girl who has been made pregnant, is abandoned and hangs herself.
Other songs with similar themes, where the woman merely wishes for death are to be found under the titles 'There is An Alehouse In The Town', 'Died For Love' and 'the American 'Wild Goose Grasses'
