I Knew Danny Farrell - The Dubliners[00:00:00]
I knew Danny Farrell when his football was a can[00:00:04]
With his hand-me-downs and Welliers and his sandwiches of bran[00:00:12]
But now that pavement peasant is a full grown bitter man[00:00:21]
With all the trials and troubles of his travelling people's clan[00:00:29]
He's a loser a boozer a me and you user[00:00:37]
A raider a trader a people police hater[00:00:42]
So lonely and only what you'd call a gurrier[00:00:46]
Still now Danny Farrell he's a man[00:00:50]
I knew Danny Farrell when he joined the National School[00:00:59]
He was lousy at the Gaelic they'd call him amadán a fooler[00:01:07]
He was brilliant in the toss school by trading objects in the pawn[00:01:15]
By the time he was an adult all his charming ways had gone[00:01:23]
I knew Danny Farrell when we queued up for the dole[00:01:34]
And he tried to hide the loss of pride that eats away the soul[00:01:42]
But mending pots and kettles is a trade lost in the past[00:01:51]
"There's no hand-out here for tinkers" was the answer[00:01:59]
When he asked[00:02:05]
He's a loser a boozer a me and you user[00:02:07]
A raider a trader a people police hater[00:02:12]
So lonely and only what you'd call a gurrier[00:02:16]
Still now Danny Farrell he's a man[00:02:21]
I still know Danny Farrell saw him just there yesterday[00:02:28]
Taking methylated spirits with some wino's on the quay[00:02:37]
Oh he's forty going on eighty with his eyes of hope bereft[00:02:45]
And he told me this for certain there's not many of us left[00:02:53]
He's a loser a boozer a me and you user[00:03:02]
A raider a trader a people police hater[00:03:06]
So lonely and only what you'd call a gurrier[00:03:10]
Still now Danny Farrell he's a man[00:03:15]
