Thread Name: Lyr Req: Riding Down from Bangor
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Riding Down from Bangor
I too have known this song since 1940s. never had any trouble realising that there must be another Bangor in Maine; but have never understood the phrase where the 'student, quite ecstatic, sees her ticket through', and still don't. What, exactly, does it mean to 'see someone's ticket through'? Anyone explain, please?
