Indeed. As I recall the great Seamus Ennis [it was one of the very few songs he would accompany on the pipes], sang "She goes out and she leaves me and sadly deceives me, Leaves me with the baby that's none of me own."

There are fanciful interpretations [I seem to recall a thread dealing with this aspect a while back] that the man was originally Joseph & the baby the Infant Jesus -- and indeed Joseph did find himself having to bring up a baby who was none of his own; but as the Angel Gabriel had enunciated all about it, that was all right then!
