what kind of rapier are we taling 'bout..?
one of my most popular song was by Thin Lizzy, a band from Baile Átha Cliath in the 70ies and during my travels in the late 70ies in the far south-west of Ireland, County Kerry song by the local lads and I during many a pint of the local black brew..☺
the song is titled "Whiskey in the Jar" ; This is one of the best known Irish folk songs, and it dates to the 17th century. It’s a story of a highwayman (a bandit) and his not so faithful lover. The song came to colonial America and became popular as a way of disrespecting British officials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WDSY8Kaf6o Also known by the version of the Dubliners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L__TrWhq4Uk but I always keep wondering about which rapier they all are singing... Any of you help this poor Cloggy gettin'out of his confussion ever since I tasted a double Paddy with each pint of Guinnes conform the instructions of the lads in Co. Kerry.... Looking forward to your reply and hopefully picture of that rapier. Thank you very much or as they say over there "Go raibh maith agat" |
