Song Writing & Lyrics
Help!Does anyone understand this
I am listening an old song called "Rolling Hills O' The Border" by Matt McGinn(here is the whole lyrics http://www.celtic-folk.de/lyrics/rollin ... border.htm ).
There is something I can't understand anyway,in the lyrics it says:
"When I die, bury me low,
Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow,
A sweeter place I never did know,
Than the rolling hills o' the border"
My question is how to understand the word "Than"?
Does he mean that he likes River Tweed better than rolling hills?
Anyone help me please? Thanks!
