Lady Isobel from The Episodes by He Mistook Her For A Swan
Episode 47 - we were on the topic of the wee People of the Isles and of course Child Ballad # 2 came up. There are many versions of this song but I like the one where the fair maiden turns the tables and murders her assailant as opposed to the opposite result which is much more common in folk murder ballads.
