GUEST,Jackie B	Meaning: Leaboy's Lassie (28)	RE: Help: LEABOYS' Lassie	02 Sep 00
Patricia Flynn from Mullaghbawn, South Armagh sings this song on her album 'Stray Leaves' She explains on her sleeve notes that the song comes in two forms, the 'Lea Boy's lassie or in other words the 'herd boy's lassie, while the other is the 'Lichtbob's lassie' (Lichtbob, meaning a regiment of soldiers) Patricia also explains that to dye your petticoat red (and yellow) indicates that she was intending to follow a soldier. this would also explain the same intention in 'Shule Aroon'. Hope this is of some help WyoWoman.< BK > slan Jackie
