Comments and Reviews

Fokeman 26th Jan 2020		Thanks, I was aware that Nits was Nuts. And yes, the words are quite disturbing. Apparently MacColl selected the best and only those which were "acceptable". If this is not worrying, I wonder what the rest were like? At least most bawdy ballads involved consensual acts!
TheJudge 26th Jan 2020		'Nits' is just Scots for 'nuts'. Not that, in the context of the song, that makes it any better: https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/robertburns/works/the_lassie_gathring_nits/
Fokeman 26th Jan 2020		And yes, it actually does say "The Lassie Gath'ring Nits". I assume that they were a welcome source of protein! ;-)
