A Cuckold by Consent

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.
