As an aside (and further to my previous post), I have heard the line line that Bill D posted about the singer's apron being "to my chin", sung in folk clubs, but that's NOT the version that Jean Redpath sings. I much prefer the version she sings, with the apron being "to my knee". Why would an apron be up to someone's chin? It makes no sense. I imagine Bill D had herd the "chin" line in a folk club, as I have done, and in his memory he probably unconsciously merged those lyrics with the Jean Redpath ones that he'd heard earlier, to produce the amalgamated lyrics he posted. But I much prefer the lyrics Jean Redpath sings, which I posted in my previous post.
