Subject: Ringsend Rose
In the Pete St.John song ''Ringsend Rose'' there's a few words which says ''street Arab's grin'' , can anybody shed some light on the meaning of this phrase. ? Here's the verse it's taken from--thanks
Sweet seventeen, my seamstress queen She's no bigger than a thimble Soft satin skin, street Arab's grin Sure she makes the work looks simple
