In the song 'Mi Granny' by The Fivepenny Piece (poem by Samuel Laycock I think) there is a line 'God bless her oo's FARRENTLY looking,' can anyone explain to me what FARRENTLY means in this context. it is not a word I've ever come across in the local (Yorkshire) dialect, nor can I find it in any dictionary of dialect.
prev Indian Summer
  
next The wedding.
