Dave the Gnome ADD: The Roving Navvy (Ian Woods) (16) RE: Lyr Req: The Roving Navvy (Ian Woods) 04 Jun 25


11 years late but, yes Thomas A. The first three verses were Ian Woods while the last one was added by Gary Aspey on the album by him and Vera called "From the North". I reckon he got in lumber with Vera for that one :-D

Anyroads...

I sing this but have always had a question about the line "I've had my share of randies, you can tell that by my scars". Randy, in my experience refers to feeling, errrr, aroused. I have looked it up and another definition is a crude or course person and, in Scotland, being rude or aggressive. Seems to have the same base as rant. From the Dutch "randen", to rant. In this context do you think it could be disagreements or fights? Blowed if I know!
