It is in the DT, filename TWAREDCRU. A couple of expressions are glossed there, and other that may puzzle are: fleg - take fright/ owsen - oxen/ -- I don't see anything else. By the way, the word "ole" in stanzas 2 & 4 has to be a misprint for "old", though Jeannie Robertson, like everyone else, sings "auld". It's a great song, I agree.Cheers Murray | |||
