GUEST,Allan Conn Lyr Req: The sodger wi' his bandoliers (5) RE: Lyr Req: The sodger wi' his bandoliers 18 Sep 15

Hi Guest the song is in "The Merry Muses of Caledonia" which was a selection of bawdy songs which were either written or collected by Robert Burns. Jim's version is as Burns has with the song being "Wha'll Mow Me Now" which yes is who will have sex with me now that I'm pregnant. Joe's version is obviously taken from a later cleaned up version. Below is a clicky showing a selection of the said lyrics including this song. Some are much worse - for instance "Green Grow The Rashes" would make fans of that song and Leezie Lindsey blush....................

"An ken ye Leezie Lundie, O.
The godly Leezie Lundie, O,
She mowes like reek throu a' the week,
But finger fucks on Sunday, O"
