“If you listen closely to Darren’s version (my favorite!) he givers her a nod: ‘Look out ole’ Lotte Lena, old Mackie’s back’”
Yes, I heard those lyrics the very first time I heard that song. I think that it was some time in the 20th century when I was *mumble-mumble* years old! ;-)
I always ‘heard’ the lyric, but only a few years ago did I understood the meaning.
