Who was Pearly Spencer??

[rose2008-2008]

Im just thinking of the song,"The Days Of Pearly Spencer", my guess he was a Cowboy,,,,, im not sure its a wild guess. LOL.

No-one knows?

I remember Radio Caroline pushing David McWilliams until I was heartily sick of it. I guess others were too?

Pearly Spencer was just some unfortunate that McWilliams came upon on the street so I believe.

According to Wiki it was a song about a homeless man McWilliams had encountered in Ballymena.
