I've always known this song as "To DAWT on me" or as we Irish and Scotland say "To DOTE on me" .... I think we all know what a DOTE
(pet) is .... eh ....???    Used extensively in Irish and Scotland.
Hope this adds to the discussion on this sight.
Actually, as a singer and user of Irish Gaelic, I fing some of the
interpretations absolutely hillarious and OFF THE WALL !!!
Best one yet ... some bright spark listening to Pecker Dunne's song "O'Sullivan John", queried the line ... "far along the road
to ROAM" (it's about a Traveller/Tinker) ...by asking what was meant by "far along the road to ROME" ....   Cripes !!!!!!!
