My question concerns the song: Rocky road to Dublin.
Now the main character yer man,the singer, complains that he was set upon when he got off the boat in Liverpool.He said that he was called a fool.He brags that he eventually got the better of the fight with the help of some men from Galway.
Now two things in this song bother me:
why would Scousers attack an Irishman when most of us are of Irish stcck ourselves.
And what's more puzzling is that he earlier stated that he landed in Hollyhead and wished that he was dead.
I've never heard of an Irish boat dock at Hollyhead and Liverpool in one trip
