John Barboury has gotten Jane pregnant, her mother believes him to be a common man, therefore she offers him her fortune so that he can marry her daughter properly, as she will not be very suitable as a match for any other man now that she has a child; however, John is rich and refuses her offer, because he has come for Jane and not for money.

Her mother is choosing him for her daughter. The story is often told from the point of view of the King, who chooses the man for his daughter.

I don't really get it; John gets the daughter, Jane, pregnant, but wants to be the mother's man? Or am I misinterpreting the lyrics?

I was wondering where I'd heard this before, and then realized that Great Big Sea does a version entiltled 'John Barbour'

I love Kate Rusby Music, she does everything with passion and craftmanship, she is a delight. I took my gig friends to see Kate between a Bryan Adams and Kasabian gig and they loved it December 2011 has been great and enriched through watching Kate singing and playing Christmas tunes from around the country, wonderful.
