phil jl Meaning of words in Danny Farrell (54* d) Danny Farrell 12 Sep 99


This being my first posting I thought I had studied carefully the steps I should take - but I still stuffed up. Sorry for the posting wrong thread. Hopefully this is posting goes through correctly.

I'm unsure about some of the words in the song Danny Farrell. They are hard to understand in the Dubliner's recording and those in the database don't seem to quite make sense. Perhaps someone at Mudcat can help me.

In the second line of the first verse. What are 'worriors' ?

Last line, first verse. Should '..his travelling evil's clan' be '..the travelling people's plan' ?

Second line of chorus. Should '.. people please hater' be 'people police hater'

Third line of chorus. What is a 'gorier' ?

Second and third lines of second verse. The words in the DB don't seem right.

Last line, third verse. Should '..takers' be '..tinkers'

Thanks for a very interesting web site

Phil
