Thread Name: Meaning of words in Danny Farrell
Subject: Meaning of words in Danny Farrell
I started a thread earlier regarding the song Danny Farrell - I gave it the subject 'Lyr Req: Danny Farrell'. This may have given the impression that I am seeking the words where in fact I already have them - I just don't understand all of them. I have searched the Forum and found the tune but no other discussion.

My original request is as follows, if anyone can help I'll be grateful

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
