Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Tar Barrel in Dale (George Unthank)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: tar barrel in dale
It does sound like three words barrel in Dale rather than barrelin' Dale when they sing it; but that could be an artifact of singing. I'd assumed that Dale was really 'Dale, an abbreviation for Allendale, the village. But short of confirmation from an authoritative source I wouldn't like to say for certain!
