《I Knew Danny Farrell》歌词

[00:00:00] I Knew Danny Farrell - The Dubliners

[00:00:04] I knew Danny Farrell when his football was a can

[00:00:12] With his hand-me-downs and Welliers and his sandwiches of bran

[00:00:21] But now that pavement peasant is a full grown bitter man

[00:00:29] With all the trials and troubles of his travelling people's clan

[00:00:37] He's a loser a boozer a me and you user

[00:00:42] A raider a trader a people police hater

[00:00:46] So lonely and only what you'd call a gurrier

[00:00:50] Still now Danny Farrell he's a man

[00:00:59] I knew Danny Farrell when he joined the National School

[00:01:07] He was lousy at the Gaelic they'd call him amadán a fooler

[00:01:15] He was brilliant in the toss school by trading objects in the pawn

[00:01:23] By the time he was an adult all his charming ways had gone

[00:01:34] I knew Danny Farrell when we queued up for the dole

[00:01:42] And he tried to hide the loss of pride that eats away the soul

[00:01:51] But mending pots and kettles is a trade lost in the past

[00:01:59] "There's no hand-out here for tinkers" was the answer

[00:02:05] When he asked

[00:02:07] He's a loser a boozer a me and you user

[00:02:12] A raider a trader a people police hater

[00:02:16] So lonely and only what you'd call a gurrier

[00:02:21] Still now Danny Farrell he's a man

[00:02:28] I still know Danny Farrell saw him just there yesterday

[00:02:37] Taking methylated spirits with some wino's on the quay

[00:02:45] Oh he's forty going on eighty with his eyes of hope bereft

[00:02:53] And he told me this for certain there's not many of us left

[00:03:02] He's a loser a boozer a me and you user

[00:03:06] A raider a trader a people police hater

[00:03:10] So lonely and only what you'd call a gurrier

[00:03:15] Still now Danny Farrell he's a man
