"Bonnie Bessie Logan" could be "ower young for me", if she was 20 and the singer 60. There seems to be an assumption that "BBL" is a child, perhaps the more likely option, but not necessarily the case. Nobody knows. The OP interpreted a line as : "but I'm married to this awful woman forever and so there's no hope." Why assume "awful" ? Maybe he just meant "another". "I interpret "For noo I lie wi' this ain until the day I die" as "Now I lie with 'this one' until the day I die." In other words, he chose somebody else, and he's stuck with her for life because they got married. And the term "this ain" implies at least a modicum of disdain," Maybe it just fits. What is it that.... "I will not sing" ? Just curious.
