Thread Name: Lovers killed by parents
Subject: Lovers killed by parents
I'm looking for songs involving lovers being killed by their parents. I'm singing at a good friend's wedding soon, and thought I'd throw in some depressing songs, just to show how lucky they are.

I've been riffling through my current repertoire and Kate Rusby's 'A Rose in April' springs to mind, as do 'Suzie Clelland' and 'Andrew Lammie' (but thats a bit long). 'The Drowned lovers' (not strictly killed by parents, but they are certainly morally culpable) might suit.

Other suggestions please?
