They might kill a rabbit.

Joe glides over this word in the song itself but Lucy &#8211; always sharp with questions about anything she doesn&#8217;t catch &#8211; gets Joe to supply the missing word, which in Irish means a wart.<\/p>\n<p>From his remarks to Lucy, it&#8217;s clear that Joe doesn&#8217;t think much of this song, which he says he used to hear his father singing at weddings. He doesn&#8217;t think anybody else in the village had it, or at least he never heard anyone else singing it, apart from his father. As regards the question of who is actually getting married (P\u00e1id\u00edn and Br\u00edd\u00edn? The mysterious Suzanne?), Joe says his father could never make head or tail of it, himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3622,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597\/revisions\/3622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
