Subject: RE: Songs of Faithless Women
In the same vein as Barbree Allen and Lily of the West: The Deep Blue Sea (Doc Watson); The Girl I Left in Tennessee, aka Maggie Walker; On Top of Old Smokey; The Maid on the Shore (?--Stan Rogers); Tennessee Waltz; My Pretty Quadroon; Margaritaville; Tavern in the Town; Hard, Ain't it Hard; Wish That I Had Never Been Born (Jerry Garcia); Railroad Bill; Nadine; and, having been there and done that, one I wrote called "The Way You've Got Me Feeling." Shady Grove, maybe. Man on the Flying Trapeze. Autumn Leaves. I Wish You Love. Mabelline. So Different Blues. (Mance Lipscombe) How Can You Quit Me, Honey? (Mance Lipscome)

I don't know if "Delia's Gone" qualifies--Tony shoots her just because she curses him, but does she have a chance to leave him? I don't know.

Undoubtedly there are 1,412 more.
