Subject: RE: Cushie Butterfield lyrics From: GUEST Date: 12 Aug 20 - 01:47 PM yes, recent posts as clear as mud- laylock = lilac as pronounced on Tyneside Q.E.D. |

Subject: RE: Cushie Butterfield lyrics From: Nigel Parsons Date: 11 Aug 20 - 03:29 PM Might help to know what version we're discussing, as that last comment doesn't appear to make sense. |

Subject: RE: Cushie Butterfield lyrics From: GUEST,Paddy Date: 11 Aug 20 - 03:21 PM The word laylock is a geordie word meaning bed spread, therefore it is saying that she wore nothing at all in bed. |

Subject: RE: Cushie Butterfield lyrics From: GUEST Date: 08 Aug 20 - 10:20 AM As I understood it Laylock referred to the type of stitching or knitting pattern for her bed gown. Dave Sutherland |

Subject: RE: Cushie Butterfield lyrics From: Nigel Parsons Date: 08 Aug 20 - 10:06 AM According to the DT version: Here *spyen - to dry up a cow's milk And 'lilac' has been rendered with the standard spelling. |

Subject: RE: Cushie Butterfield lyrics From: Snuffy Date: 08 Aug 20 - 08:57 AM I've always understood that: Laylock = lilac Spyen = Scare / frighten / shock Young coo = calf |
|
Subject: Cushie Butterfield lyrics From: GUEST,geordie boy Date: 08 Aug 20 - 08:27 AM Can anyone explain "laylock" (her bed goon is...) and "spyen" (...a young coo)? Spellings are approximate. I've been singing it for years but don't know the meaning of the two words. Ta GB |
