Subject: RE: Would you sing Peggy and the Soldier
I was thinking of "The Fair Flower of Northumberland". Of course she's an unmarried teenage girl. But she elopes with a man who also calls her a whore.

Happily, when she goes home her family forgives her, at least her mother does.

And the tune is wonderful.
