Good thread! Though I think I'll only be able to list a few of my favorites...

"Men may strip you to the skin
but the wolves will strip you to the bone." -Death of Young Andrew

"They couldn't do to me no harm
So they slew my baby in my arm
Left me naught to wrap him in
But the bloody sheet that he lay in." -Famous Flower of Serving Men

"No gypsy, slut nor doxy
Shall win my mad Tom from me
I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight
The fray shall well become me." -Bedlam Boys

"Pretty flowers was made to bloom, love.
Pretty stars was made to shine.
Pretty girls was made for boys to love,
And maybe you was made for mine." -Awake, Awake

"Well, I wished I was a turtle dove
Had wings and could fly
Far away to my lover's lodgings
Tonight I'd draw nigh
And there in her lily-white arms I'd lay there all night
and watch through them little windows
for the dawning of day." -Pretty Saro
