GUEST,Mark Gilston Won't you come a bundling with me. (17) RE: Won't you come a bundling with me. 09 May 22


The chorus I remember is:

    "Marnie, Marnie, Please come home with me.
    Now father's resting in his cups and mother's drinking tea.
    Won't you come a-bundling, a-bundling with me."


Bundling was described to me as: before a couple was married, the woman would lie beneath the sheets and the man on top of them.

I suspect it had different meanings in different societies, but always it was a way to keep a couple separated while still maintaining the idea of intimacy.
