GUEST,Nigel Am I Right About This? (Bonnie Bessie Logan) (13) RE: Am I Right About This? (Bonnie Bessie Logan) 25 Jun 23


"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.
