Thread Name: 'Fair Length & Share' - meaning?
Subject: 'Fair Length & Share' - meaning?
Ramble Away (@displaysong.cfm?SongID=4868 ) and "Derry Down Fair" (from the Young Tradition) both have a line

"So I gave her three doubles and a fair length and share"

This sounds faintly bawdy, but does anyone know what it actually means?
