Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pretty Peg (from The Bothy Band)
Subject: RE: Song name and lyrics wanted-Pretty Peg
Okay. Thanks. The basket element is left over from another song and not very clearly explained in the present song.
I still think the song is seriously flawed. The ending 'For if any old wife begrudge me her daughter I'll rock her into hell' is too bitter and angry for a comic song.
The guy sounds more like a sexual predator than a lover.
