ruzuzu commented on the word lay lady lay
After writing that Eric Clapton's "Lay Down Sally" should actually be "lie down Sally," Mignon Flaherty, Grammar Girl, writes, "If you're more of a Bob Dylan fan, you can remember that "Lay Lady Lay" is also wrong. The lyrics should be “Lie lady lie, lie across my big brass bed.”" (As found here.)
