Thread Name: Origins: Lyrics involving aprons
Subject: RE: Origins: Lyrics involving aprons
In "The Setting of the Sun"(and other Lucy Wan variants), a man accidentally shoots his girlfriend who is sitting in a bush with her apron over her head: he mistakes her for a swan. Whether she was sheltering from a storm or having a pee, or some other unspecified activity, is not always clear.
