Thread Name: Origins: Lyke Wake Dirge
Subject: RE: Phrase from: Lyke Wake Dirge
mmm, it has been suggested that we do this song, reading the text it is very confusing and sounded a bit rediculous, doh, got it, it is someones attempt to write down the broad north yorkshire dialect. Having written it out properly and slipping into my fathers North broad Yorkshire farming brogue (of which there is more than a trace left in me!) I've got it! Ok, a little test, one of my fathers phrases, can you decipher, Agan gitten gutorcs and shut t' yat, this is a bit off thread so pm for answers!
