The Royal Forester Lyrics

Cover art for The Royal Forester lyrics by Steeleye Span

Clearly a story...not sure what era from. Man rapes woman, she runs to the King and begs, he rules that the man should marry her. Interesting song, nice harmony on the 7th and 8th verses. Not sure about the violin/electric guitar combo, but good song.
