I made the couple ambigious as I try to do with a lot of my other characters with no clear age given so that the reader can make assumptions such as that. :P This pasta was written to have both a sorrowful and a happy ending - trying to give the sense that the man in the pasta dies peacefully and would be able to see Irene again. Whether he means that they would be truly united in death or if the narrator meant in the flashes of his life before expiring is something I also tried to leave up to debate but not sure if I pulled that off.

For the record, I was listening to this while writing, which is also how I found the song and don't regret it. I might have to check out more of Lead Belly's work soon.
