20 May 04 - 08:29 AM (#1189510) Subject: Lyr Req: Rambling Rover From: VIN In Andy M Stewart's song 'Rambling Rover', a line in the chorus states '..from Orkney down to Dover'. I've heard this sung as 'docree'? down to Dover'. Is docree (don't know the spellink) just wrong or some kind of Celtic alternative? Or do my ears need syringing? |
