Talk:Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill

Jim Goff's Salary

It's interesting to note that a trip a mile up into the sky (with only the initial velocity from the blast) would take about 36.25 seconds round trip (ignoring air resistance). If he was docked a dollar for that amount of time, his hourly wage would have been around $99/hr. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.235.143 (talk) 23:57, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

So, with the air resistance, how long would it take ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.66.170 (talk) 16:58, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Tarrier: meaning of the word

Cohen's book Long Steel Rail is the first and last word on the subject of traditional railroad tunes, but in connecting "tarrier" with "terrier" as in the dog, he's a long way from Tiperary. Every dictionary on the internet gives the first of the following meanings (as does Cohen), but many also point to the second, which somehow escaped the esteemed author:

1. A layabout or loiterer; Someone who tarries.
2. (slang, derogatory, UK, ethnic slur) A Roman Catholic of Northern Ireland or Scotland.

lyrics

I will be happy to provide additional (and slightly different) lyrics, as sung by the Weavers and other subsequent groups such as the Kingston Trio. Also, I don't beleive you need to or should list the chorus after every verse. The convention in every songbook or other place where lyrics are listed is the provide the words to the chorus once, and then where the chorus is repeated, simply write "(chorus)."

A discography might also be good.

What happened to "And blast! And fire!" at the end of the chorus? Is it not in the original? When was it added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.15.119.210 (talk) 12:28, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
