Mark-o Origins: Lazy Lazy River (Mississippi Sheiks) (8) RE: Origins: Lazy Lazy River by the MS Sheiks 17 Oct 14


Hi Ken

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm thinking it's "walking borrowed ground." Turns out it is an old phrase that's been found in at least one written source according to a correspondent. He suggests it means pretty much what it sounds like, trespassing. Nice turn of phrase.

--There is something there besides "...beneath the..", and it doesn't sound like "in."--

True that. If you transcribe that phrase, there is definitely another syllable in there each time it comes up. Could just be kind of vocal embellishment.

This is getting fun.
