Requested move

[edit]

But and ben or but 'n ben are terms any Scot would know (the most famous one being that owned by The Broons). This is the first time I've heard the order reversed to ben and but. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support as per sample:
An' it's doon the close an' up the stair
A but-an'-ben wi' Burke and Hare
Burke's the butcher, Hare's the thief
And Knox is the man that buys the beef.
