Amazing Song From CAMEL;ANDREW LATIMER Guitars,Flutes,Keyboards And Vocals.Amazing And Unique Band From IRELAND Always Be Remember By People Know Them.
Send home the slates does indeed mean "Send home the money". So many in Ireland emigrated to the USA to escape poverty. So many young Irish lads left Cobh harbour so seek a new life and indeed send home much needed money to support their families left behind in Ireland.
hey guys, I have a question: what does it mean 'send home the slates'? Especially word 'slate'. I'm not native to this language and don't understand this. TIA
"I'll work hard to send home the slates" means: I'll work hard to send home the money / money bills, if I'm not very much mistaken. I think the word "slate" means money or money bill, but I'm not sure.
Thank you for posting this wonderfull masterpiece! I absolutely adore this song, one of the first Camel songs I actually remember hearing at a young age.

Ah, I can recognize myself there. I am from Bosnia and when my family emigrated to where we are now, we started sending money home almost right away!

The slate was a slate board the shop keeper wrote your owings on in chalk. if you couldn't pay at the time, an earliest form of credit card.
