"Maukit" in this sense means horrible, unattractive etc. They are looking for the ugliest girl and he finds a cracker who is the most maukit one inside. That is the most unappealing girl in the dance hall. Most maukit when I sing - just doesn't work or make much sense within the lyric. He defo isn't singing that on the version I have access to. If he sings that on another version I suspect it is just a mistake. Here in the Borders the term 'haikit'was more often used for unattractive. |
