Wkailey straight & sober song circle (54* d) Juice of the Barley 22 Sep 97


Correction to foregoing:

Juice of the Barley is in the database. The t__ and p__ words are "turf" and "primer." Primer makes sense, but turf makes no sense to me in this context. Can anyone explain it or suggest a better word? Also, the database has "danced 'round the floor with her slip of a boy," which is undoubtedly a better rendition of the third line of the song. However, I like my "in the corner blind drunk to be found" a lot better than their "in the corner was sure to be found." The latter version appears to be taken by the authors of the database from a cleaned-up version of the song that was sung when the Clancy Brothers appeared at Carnegie Hall. My version is from an earlier recording.
