ScottyG New member saying hi / 'Heave yo ho' song (56* d) RE: New member saying hi. 03 Jul 01


We thought that too, and I'm not altogether sure Davy sings "Lady Twynford" either. I merely transcribed the words printed on the CD insert. I did make one assumption, which is most likely incorrect. In the last line of the first verse, the insert has "het" before "ale." I thought that was probably a typo, intended to be "the." However, listening again to the track, it sounds like Davy sings "het." As my wife later pointed out to me, that line means that the brandy goes down well in between warm beers("het" being "hot"). I'm a "purist", and getting the words right is extremely important to me. It really helps to "ken" what they mean.

Cheers.
