Gutcher	Folklore: What does 'lying next to the wall' mean? (24)	RE: Folklore: What does 'lying next to the wall' mean?	01 Aug 12
In the song "Noo Haud Yer Tongue Dear Maggie" the last line of the 3rd verse is:--"Tae tak me in his strong airms and lay me neist the waa". The young wife, in this case being married to an old man, is in need of some action from a young man. Bundling gets a mention in various songs including "The Braes O Kirkmahoe". The practice appears to have died out about the middle of the 18th.C. in S.W. Scotland. V.7. "Tae bundle there wi Annie it was my sole intent but o that loosum kimmer man she wad provoke a saint".
