Dear All,
I have just come across the wonderful song 'The Rocky Road to Dublin' as I've been searching for traditional Irish songs.
I have checked the lyrics many times but I still can't figure out what 'hunt the hare and turn her down' means in this song.
I know that a hare is a kind of rabbit, but what does it stand for here? And what does 'turn down' mean in this context?
I would be really grateful if someone answered these questions of mine.
Thank you very much.
