From Alison Gross (Child #35) sung by Lizzie Higgins, from "In Memory of Lizzie Higgins 1929-1993", Musical Traditions MTCD337-8.

Awa, awa, ye ugly witch,
Haud far awa an lat me be.
Afore I kiss your ugly mou
I'd raither toddle around the tree

I think the usual meaning of "toddle" is not fit to get the meaning of "I'd raither toddle around the tree" as something inconvenient or extremely difficult the singer is ready to do rather than kiss the witch. Any suggestion?

Thanks. R
