Songs with murder and revenge as a subject have been around for centuries...nothing new about it
This is an old folk song...Banks of the Ohio...in this version it's a womans lament,but I think originally written to be sung by a man.
I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

blackadder, Tony kills the man who killed his wife - that's revenge. Tom just kills an unfaithful girlfriend. That's not revenge.
Weird song to sing at a rugby match anyway, though less so than singing "*** spirituals" (as we used to call them) at Twickers. Surely there must be something more appropriate in the Welsh songbook?

OMG thank G we dont have narco-corridas here:
A narco-corrido Drug Ballad) is a sub-genre of the Mexican norteño-corrido (northern ballad) music genre, This type of music is heard on both sides of the US–Mexican border. It uses a danceable, accordion-based polka as a rhythmic base. The first corridos that focus on drug smugglers—of 1910, tell the stories of revolutionary fighters. Music critics have also compared narcocorrido music to gangster rap.[1][2]
Narcocorrido lyrics refer to particular events and include real dates and places.[3] The lyrics tend to speak approvingly of illegal activities such as murder, torture, racketeering, extortion, drug smuggling, illegal immigration, and sometimes political protest due to government corruption.
disgusting !
