i know y'all have discussed this one before, but i can't find it in the thread archives so it's high time the subject came up again. this isn't really a lyric req, more like a request for lyric explanation. in the old scottish version of "young hunting", what is a "may catheren" -is that her name? and what is the "hoky-gren" that she burns like? that whole part of the song confuses me. i need the information for a research paper. any info you might have on variation or origins of this ballad would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks...
