In a folk song, there is a line "The old white mare lay on her wime."

I was wondering what the 'wime' is--the folk song is from Scotland, so I'm pretty sure it's dialect.

Update:

The name of the song is "The Barnyards of Delgay," and is also called "Turra Market."

Update 2:

Sorry--misspelling! It's "The Barnyards of Delgaty," not "Delgay"
