"Lay the BEND to the bonny broom"

Cool!

I like that...

I also like...

"But is it possible, just possible, that the phrase "lay the bend to the bonnie broom" refers to sweeping the floor, and has NOTHING to do with the narrative? "

Makes sense to me... It is a great song for singing while doing housework!

Ta yet again MMario!
