@lurak9 You might be thinking of "Tunnel TIgers", I think it's on his album "There's Gangs of Them Diggings"

Wow, thanks for posting this!! I was at this concert, it was in Bantry House the year before Frank died...it was one of the best gigs I've ever been at and it awakened my interest in the english song tradition in Ireland... It is indeed Donal Lunny accompanying him.. Magic!!

I didn't know Frank died. I took a class from him in W. VA in l986.. I am sorry he died. What happened to him? When did he die?

I'm just curious because I've heard this song before by Frank Harte with the other -
Chorus:
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
What is the significance of the numbers in this Chorus?
Sorry if that's a stupid question.

Frank recorded the well known version of The Spanish Lady on his second album. On the sleeve notes he mentions this other version, and says the numbers mean "she had the odds and evens of it, in other words she had everything".

Thanks a lot, I've been wondering about that for a long time.
