My saddle and bridle also And I will go to some foreign land Where no man shall me know." It all made sense when we sang it at school but now I wonder how he will get to his destination, if he gives away his horse. Also why he thinks life will be any better there. |

Since the song is of English origin, he'd have to have sailed unless going to either Scotland or Wales. If he'd gone to either of those countries he'd probably have named them directly. |
