first I thought this was a totally lovely innocent song until I really listened to the lyrics. but what I don't understand is why do they have to gag her... THAT REALLY ISN'T NECESSARY...

MrRedwood, duuude... "being quite that naughty"?? This song is about the prostitution/rape of a woman in desperate poverty: "A gag is placed between her lips/ To keep her sorry tongue from any speaking, or screaming/... And they tell her not to say a thing/ To cousin, kindred, kith, or kin, or she'll end up dead/ And they throw her thirty dollars and return her to the harbor/ Where she goes to bed, and this is how you're fed" - this is not about a "naughty" mother, what the hell kind of slut-shaming, victim-blaming talk is that? Be a little more sensitive when commenting on songs about shocking abuse, please.
