Today we look at an actually sweet song and one that is still sung today as &quot;One Night as I Lay on My Bed&quot; as performed by Steeleye Span and others. We will also look at the lover at the window archetype and how it appears today, including Jimmy Hughes&apos; song &quot;Steal Away&quot;. <a href='https://ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad/31295/xml'>&quot;A Favorite Love Song&quot;</a><a href='https://open.spotify.com/track/7sHoKAxxtPcBFbgjwebsFk?si=e629c37c63a54517'>&quot;One Night as I lay on my bed&quot;</a><a href='https://open.spotify.com/track/1tG3zCppK6MN013nd36B3E?si=9523e1c63f774289'>&quot;Steal Away&quot;</a><a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steal_Away'>&quot;Steal Away&quot; Spiritual</a><a href='https://famestudios.com/'>FAME Studios</a><a href='https://eternalisedofficial.com/2022/01/21/anima-and-animus/'>Jungian concepts of Anima/Animus</a><a href='//www.bawdyballads.com'>Bawdy Ballads site</a>--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bawdyballads/message<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bawdyballa1">Support the show</a>

Debauchery Scared. Prostitutes, fools, and tricksters... Oh My.

Welcome all you wonderful people, and thank you so much for checking out Bawdy Ballads, where we will explore all the dirty, sassy, and usually surprising old popular songs, and when I say old… I mean old. Four hundred years old old. And along the way we’ll explore all those things that make life a bit more interesting. There’s trickery infidelity, loving, drinking, and fighting. While we dig deep in these songs, we’ll talk about all kinds of things: archetypes, history, folklore, and how so many of these songs hold vast potential for inspiration of new creations.
