Thread Name: Old Man (K. Rusby) - bits I don't get
Subject: RE: Old Man (K. Rusby) - bits I don't get
Yikes - I'm changing the lines I don't like to something I am happier with.

Kate's lines as follows :

He swore by the sun, the moon, and the stars,
And the green leaves on the tree,
If his wife didn't do a day's work in her life,
She'll no be ruled by he

changed to :

He swore by the sun, the moon and the stars
And then to end the row,
Said, tomorrow,my wife, you'll bide in the home
And I'll go drive the plough

Thanks for the help.
