Lyr Req: Lady Maggie? / Ladie Marcie

Hi,

a long time ago I stumbled across a site which had a recording of (and the lyrics to) a fragment of an old celtic song. I only remember the first line or so, which runs something along the lines of "Lady Maggie (note: might be Mary) awandrin in the woods". The melody is all strange, very haunting; in fact is hasn't left my mind for years. The story is about a lady who sees this creature who is half man and half beast (a centaur, perhaps?) in the woods and falls in love with him. She's already married, but, if I remember it correctly, she runs away with him. If someone knows this tune, or has the link to that website (I've lost it), I'd be eternally grateful!

Thanks in advance,

Vittoria M.
