EileenH 496 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Anyway, back to Dolly Parton. I thought it was interesting how she said,'Ayup me duck.' She put the emphasis on the first syllable and it sounded like, 'Hey! Up me duck!' Sounded a bit saucy to me. Good book scheme though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
