I've been wondering about the phrase 'turn you lamp down low' that is used quite frequently in blues/folk songs. I heard it just this morning in a song with a lyric that went 'Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low, wake up little mama, turn your lamp down low.' Is the phrase a metaphore or code for something else? Just wondering. |
