Could E stand for eyes?

blue eyes, black eyes, brown eyes

Or emerald?

Could G be girl?

Or green or gold?

I've tried all sorts of combinations but I think I'm going to have to give up, at least for this evening!

actually, PH was gone with Purple Haze, but Purple Heather works fine too

BGBE may be a mis-print. Or, it could be an obscure Irish protest song, of which (by choice) I know sqwat.

Time to come clean.
A few weeks ago my sister gave me a list of 50 of these, asking for my help. We were down to the last half dozen which stumped us so I decided to ask you lot. The twenty I posted included these!
WGL is "We'll gather lilacs", but I'm still no nearer to finding BGBE.
