Michele	Help: HEY HOW MY JOHNNIE LAD (5)	HEY HOW MY JOHNNIE LAD	27 Sep 00
I have "Hey How, my Johnnie lad" on "traditional songs and ballads" by Ewan MacColl (Folkways FW 87609). A pleasant version is also sung by Rebecca Pidgeon on her recent CD "Four Marys" (Chesky jd 165). I don't understand lines 4,5,6 of the first stanza: "...I could na eithly trow my een. Sae weel's ye might hae tousled me and sweetly prie'd my mou bedeen." Can anyone help me? Thanks from Italy, Michele
