#N:inmet:6600005:000:561 inmet!ericf Jun 26 21:00:00 1983 I have this song lyric whose meaning I have been trying to track down for a while. The lyric goes: "See the drunkard in the tavern, stemming gold to make ends meet" My question is: What does "stemming gold" mean? The lyric is from the song "Don Quixote" by Gordon Lightfoot. The "stemming gold" line is hard to understand on the record, so I checked a song sheet to find out what he was saying. Please respond via mail. Thanks in advance... Eric Feigenson Intermetrics, Inc.
