one of my fav LSF songs, musically and lyrically .. awesome
I haven't completely worked out everything going on lyrically but there is a 19th century poem called "Patty Lee" by some English fellow named Brodrick. it's on Google books, easy to find
the poem is about this mysterious gypsy girl who is more than what she seems and probably bad news
King William the Second's murder (alleged! it was never proven) is mentioned as well ... awesome poem if you have the time to read it and it wouldn't surprise me if it was an inspiration for the song
a side note: there are interesting parallels between William 'Rufus' II, son of William the Conqueror, and the current leader of USA's Executive Branch
