Long shot: Pandora played a song for me yesterday, and I can't seem to find it. Google isn't turning up any hits for the lyrics I remember. I could swear I'd hit thumbs up (if not this time, then ages ago - because I'm pretty sure it's played it for me before), but I went through the whole list of thumbs upped songs on the station, and I can't seem to find it. Any help tracking it down would be appreciated.
It sounds like an Irish folk song. One female singer with a violin and possibly a few other instruments (I don't remember clearly enough). It's the story of a girl who refuses to wed. Men come a-courting (some more gently than others), but she turns them all down. She tells one (I think after he carries her off, but I wasn't completely paying attention to the lyrics) that he'd better return her to her mother "maiden as I came." The chorus goes something like this:
Hie away from me
Hie away from here
There's not a man
In all Stratford
Married be by me, by me
Married be by me
