To a Dubliner, there are no odd words in the song, these are just everyday words in Dublin. I think The Dublin City Ramblers[D.C.R.] had Danny Farrell out as a single first. At the time Pete St.John must of had some kind of special bond with the'Ramblers, because they seem to have got most of his songs first. If ever there was a song that needed a key change Danny Farrell did, it's not very noticeably on the version on YouTube, but it's there near the end. The original version By d.c.r. had drums and bass which made it sound much fuller and the key change was much more pronounced . I have a copy of the original and wanted to put it on youtube but on Windows Media Player it said the file was protected, which means it cant be put on youtube, but I'm sure someone knows a way around this ?
