Thread Name: 'Sammy's Bar' lyrics corrections/interpretations
Subject: 'Sammy's Bar' query
What is the correct (ie Cyril Tawney) pronunciation of "dyso"? I was just listening to a Martin Simpson recording and he pronounces the "s" as a "z", while I tend to think it's as in the word"so". Anyone got a Cyril record handy. to check? I havent sung the song for years, but have a sudden urge to do so, and I don't want to get it wrong.
   I believe the word dyso is actually spelt dghajsa by yer actual Maltesers, to throw in an extraneous snippet of useless information.
