Thin Lizzy - The Friendly Ranger at Clontarf Castle (Unreleased Alternate Version) скачать видео бесплатно

Lyrics & Information

Until 2006 there was 5 tracks that had been hidden in the Lizzy vault that had never been released. Very early studio recordings of some of the later famous and best loved songs. But also 2 tracks 'Mama and Papa' and 'It's Really Worthwhile', that had been recorded but never released officially. Hope you enjoy! These were recorded in Dublin.

Now this track is very special as it is very different to the one that was released on the album. It is very interesting because Phil uses lyrics that were to be incorporated on the song 'Buffalo Gal' but switched them around. I therefore had to take the lyrics by ear, but if you think that the lyrics are wrong in any way, do not hesitate to contact me and I shall rectify them!

Lyrics :-

The Friendly Ranger paused

And scooping a bowl of beans

Spreading them like stars

Falling like justice

On different scenes

I'm damned

Indeed comrade

I'm being bombed

And all the people's faces turned strawberry blonde

By the morning gate

The Friendly Ranger waits

For the sun

Making sure it's not late

Just in time

No need to fear

Just in case

And all the people happy for another year

True to these circumstances no more dances

And your chances for further romances will be met

Till the young maid has been paid

Recieved the debt which was delayed

I'm afraid there's a bet

(Very cool bongos)

And in the evening shade

He climbs upon the sun

Getting it's glow

Goes on singing this song
