Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Deaf Shepherd song, Pawkie Patterson?
Thanks Jim.
Ok A muckle = Much or Large. Plew = Plough.
i.e Muckle Plew Staff. = Large Plough Staff
Yaud = Mare. I.e. Auld grey yaud = Old Grey Mare
Now guiden mei? Well I get it as, Guider = Manager/organiser.
Ergo Guiden = To guide i.e. to manage/look after.
Sei how they're guien mei! = See how they're looking after me.
Clutes = cluit = Hoofs/Hooves.
Hei's of'en shod ma clutes = He's often shod my hooves.
Swabbled, I didn't find but I guess it's to smack or hit.
Begining to make sence now.
