Thread Name: Beagle or Beadle?
Subject: RE: Beagle or Beadle?
The verse the term comes up in goes:
"The landlords and their agents, their bailiffs and their beagles The land of our forefathers we're forced for to give o'er And we're sailing on the ocean for honor and promotion And we're parting with our sweethearts, it's them we do adore"
As bailiffs are already mentioned, what would be the reason for the repetition?
