Thread Name: Irish Newfoundland lyrics
Subject: RE: Irish Newfoundland lyrics
Pamela Morgan (formerly of Figgy Duff, that wonderful band) and Anita Best, folklorist and traditional singer.

The songbook "Come And I Will Sing You" was published in the mid-eighties by Anita Best . (She and Pamela did a CD of traditional and not-often-heard folk songs of Newfoundland) Now that you mention it I don't have a copy and will see if my local indie book store can get it for me.

I assume that the title of the book comes from the song that begins that way and lists items 1 to 12, the last being the 12 apostles if memory serves me right. Figgy Duff did a version years ago.

Speaking of Newfs I am off to see Great Big Sea at a local saloon next week. The local Newfs have been sighted buying tickets twenty at a time so I got mine today.
