The e-mail that started me on this:

Hi joe !!! fyi,, a wee docht and doris , I was born in Scotland ,, and all these people are trying to read too much into the translation ???? here goes from a scot ,,,,

Just a little drink at the door ... just a little one , that's all
Just a little drink at the door , before you go away
There's a little wife waiting , in the little cottage
If you can see its a nice bright moonlight night
Then you are alright ,,, you know ????
Please pass this on to all the people who are so anal about translation to the literal degree ???? thank you . Di

I was wondering if there was a discussion I missed that triggered this e-mail, and I didn't find a thread on this song. Is there one?
