Hi Lighter,

You're very bright and always helpful so maybe I still don't get it. I'm not sure- does "ru' " work. I guess I don't think of a swan outside under a bush or tree being in a "room." So that bothered me because I didn't understand it- and I thought maybe it was a slang. Then I found a Norfolk version where MacColl and Lloyd changed it to "ru' ". So I figured they probably knew.

That doesn't really change the interpretation tho.
