Dave the Gnome The word 'randies' in The Roving Navvy (4) The word 'randies' in The Roving Navvy 06 Jun 25


I asked the question in the old thread on The Roving Navvy but as there is no response, I think it may be better in a seperate thread

I sing this song 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!
