"The Female Highwayman" :)

Sure, it's about terrifying and deceiving your lover to test him to make sure he's so devoted to you that he values your gift to him more than his own life, and then telling him that you would have killed him if he had been unfaithful...but she does it so sweetly! And it's so cute! And there's playing around with gender roles!

Yep, first thing that came to my mind in this thread was the great wealth of disturbing content in folk songs/ballads. My favorite might be Long Lankin (Child 93). Also Matty Groves (Child 81- iconic!) Young Edwin in the Lowlands Low, The Bold Poachers, Earl Richard/Young Hunting (Child 68), etc etc etc. And even things with "happy" endings can get pretty damn rapey- The Royal Forrester, King Henry (Child 92), The Two Magicians (Child 44).

Someone upthread mentioned Vienna Teng's "Passage", so I think When I Was On Horseback also deserves a mention in that dead-narrator subgenre.

Are you me? Did I write this in my sleep? Love all those wonderful, creepy, old murder ballads.
