first I thought this was a totally lovely innocent song until I really listened to the lyrics. but what I don't understand is why do they have to gag her... THAT REALLY ISN'T NECESSARY...

As amazing as that overreaction below me is, this song is even MORE amazing. Does anyone else taste the delicious tones of the Mariner's Revenge Song in this?

MrRedwood, duuude... "being quite that naughty"?? This song is about the prostitution/rape of a woman in desperate poverty: "A gag is placed between her lips/ To keep her sorry tongue from any speaking, or screaming/... And they tell her not to say a thing/ To cousin, kindred, kith, or kin, or she'll end up dead/ And they throw her thirty dollars and return her to the harbor/ Where she goes to bed, and this is how you're fed" - this is not about a "naughty" mother, what the hell kind of slut-shaming, victim-blaming talk is that? Be a little more sensitive when commenting on songs about shocking abuse, please.
