What is the meaning of the song "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree"?

Question

Call me crazy, but it sounds like she either gave a child up for adoption or had an abortion.

Ok, since people want to answer even though they have no clue, I am posting the lyrics. See what you think.

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

I fell in fear, upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
When the big black horse said, "Hey lady"
He said, "Look this way, will you marry me?"
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

But I said no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me

(ooooo,woo-hoo)

And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
So it stopped it dead for a beat or two.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that,
And it won't forgive me after all these years
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

So I sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black hor

Answer 1

she was a virgin that fell for a black guy an dhad been taught that it was wrong. some think she left him, found out she was pregnant and gave it up. (so i sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big black horse and a cherry tree.)
she later regreted this and tried to get the kid and father back. (now it won't come back , cause it's oh so happy
and now i've got a hole for the world to see)
and regets it so much because they will not let her back into thier lives.
(i can't quite get there cause they've all forsken me)
