Fuld af løgn

My version of an English broadside ballad from the late 18th century. Sally leaves her man Billy for her cousin, Joe the soldier. After about a year she regrets her decision and returns. Her escapades has resulted in a baby, and Billy wants nothing to do with her. Sally takes Billy to court, but loses. She pleads with Billy to take her back, but he refuses and she drowns herself in a water butt.

Jeg Elsked En Pige
