The Golden Glove (Roud 141, Laws N20) is an English folk song also popular in Scotland, Ireland and North America.
She calls off the wedding, Putting on a man's coat, waistcoat and breeches she goes out hunting with "dog and gun" instead.
Sometimes at this point the farmer says he would be willing to fight for his love: "I thought you had been at the wedding" she cried, "To wait on the Squi-er and give him his bride."
Kentucky country singer Bradley Kincaid was recorded singing Dog and Gun (An Old English Ballad) in New York in 1933.
Muckram Wakes, Nic Jones, John Wesley Harding, Shirley Collins, Sally Barker, Fairport Convention, Damien Barber, Hannah James and Sam Sweeney, John Speirs and Jon Boden, Ruth Notman, and Jim Moray have also recorded the song.
