Dialect dissonance, again

Back in the day, as recently as the late '40's, there was a
traditional blues song still quite popular, often heard on AM radio,
with the title,
Bottle It Up And Go.
As I was browsing through iTunes, I came across the title,
Borrow Love And Go.
When I sampled it, it was immediately clear that the song was only
another version of Bottle It Up And Go.
