Stavros Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque. I left my heart in San Francisco, high on the hill. Take me back to Chicago. Meet me in St. Louis. Walking in Memphis. I've got a gal in Kalamazoo. One night in Bangkok. Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express. Loco In Acapulco. Barcelona, it was the first time that we met. I'm going to Barbados. Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong, West Virginia. Stav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack from Laxey Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Nice to hear that again Stav. Thanks. 'The Liverpool girls it was said, could be met at the Douglas Head' would now be something like: "The Liverpool girls on their backs, could be found down at Jaks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Google Search results: 748,000 for The Crack was ninety In The Isle of Man 3,430 for The Craic was ninety In The Isle of Man 639 for The Craic was mighty In The Isle of Man Craic, pronounced "crack," is an Hiberno-English slang term for fun. Most commonly this word is associated with Ireland and its slang. Many people use a number to show the level of craic (fun). The traditional range is from 1 to 100. A craic of 100 could be death, so a craic of 90 would be a grand time. Stav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Cardboard Box Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I was in a pub in Dublin a few months ago when the traditional resident band played this - I had never heard it before - and I am sure they sang "mighty" Which is why I queried Ninety.....

Jack from Laxey Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 There's only one thing for it. You're going to have to go back to Dublin on a mega pub crawl asking all the bands to play Christie Moore and then take a consensus on the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
