Subject: RE: Rigs o' Rye
This couple they are married noo,
And they have bairnies one or two,
And live in Brittany the winter through,
And in Montrose in summer.
brittany must be a mondegreen, ordinary people would not be living in brittany and montrose, more likely brechin and montrose, it is not a fine verse imo, it in effect makes it nonsensical
