While Pecknold's version is my favorite of this song, this is not in fact a song by either Pecknold (White Antelope) or Fleet Foxes. It's actually a traditional American folk ballad. Just wanted to make sure that was put out there since it is listed in FF's catalog of songs.
With all that said, here's my interpretation of this song. It's very straight forward. It's about a young girl who's forbidden to marry the man she loves because her mother is afraid she'll wronged just as she was by the young girl's father. She heeds her mother's advice and instead of simply living her own life and taking that risk on love she chooses to sleep alone.
