sense 2 but transitive?[edit]

  • 1963, Barry McGuire (lyrics and music), “Green, Green”, in Ramblin', performed by The New Christy Minstrels:
    Well I told my momma on the day I was born
    Don't you cry when you see I'm gone
    You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down
    I just gotta be traveling on

This sounds very strange to me, so I'm hesitant to add it unless someone can find at least one other use. Simplificationalizer (talk) 16:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
