Subject: RE: Origins: Maid of Argenta
Well, Vrdpkr, I don't really think that's it, because it's very clear on the recording that she is giving him something in that part of the phrase: "I gave her my gold and she gave me her _______". I did think of "cattle," (I thought of everything that might possibly rhyme), but somehow I don't think that's it. Try again....
Hey, Art, how 'bout asking Bob Bovee how he thinks it goes?
And Celtaddict, how about that MP3 your brother sent you?
It's a hell of a good song, whatever that phrase really is!
