I am puzzled by a line in the transcribed lyrics to Leadbelly's Linin' Track on his Leadbelly Sings Folk Songs LP, which goes: See Eloise go the linin' track. I suspect (like the notorious "Borrow Love and Go" for "Bottle up an' go") that this is a mistake, for something like "See how the ??? ??? the linin' track." either that, or the whole song is nothing to do with laying rialroad lines, and is an elaborate sexual metaphor, making Eloise (perhaps) a whore and linin' track being the way into some female orifice (sounds far-fetched to me, but you never know with folk songs). Can anybody help? This came to my attention because a singer in Bradford sang the song the other day, saying Eloise was the person who guided the men so they got the track lined up. I doubt that a woman would have this sort of supervisory role in an all-male gang.
