Thread Name: Lyr Req: meaning of the words in DIXIE
Subject: Words of ? in Dixie
I checked the older messages that seemed pertinent but didn't find anything about this particular aspect of the song "Dixie". In the last verse there is reference to "ingen batter" and to "scratch the grabble". Any one with insights on what these two things are. I realize that this is old slang and would like to know what it is in reference to. Thanks.
