sheba Accents In Songs (31) RE: Accents In Songs 20 Aug 00


To Americans who sing Scottish songs: What would you do with the last repeated phrase of "Annie Laurie": "And for bonnie, bonnie Annie Laurie, I'd lay me doon and dee." I find this a tricky call. I do not feign a Scottish accent while singing but can't quite bring myself to say "lay me down and die." I'd like to come to some peace on this before I dee.
