Thread Name: Grammatically Correct Folk Song Lyrics
Subject: RE: Grammatically Correct Folk Song Lyrics
Now, Bert, you very well know I do not mean colloquial lyrics and their peculiar enunciations. I am trying to imagine what kind of person WOULD have difficulty with that kind of thing.

But Foolstroupe's scenario above provides, to those who can appreciate it, yet another comedy of the grammatically gifted trying to accommodate common folk song lyrics.

The more I think about that side of the phenomenon the more I luagh!
