Thread Name: Other parting songs?
Subject: RE: Other parting songs?
There's one we sing sometimes at the end of sessions, and it is also sung by the Fagans. The words are somewhat different than the ones I have been able to find anywhere else but I like the way the Fagans do it.

Stand By the Shore

Fathers, now our meeting is over
Fathers, we must part.
And if we should never meet again
I'll keep you in my heart

And we'll stand by the shore
And we'll stand by the shore
And we'll stand by the shore
And be safe forevermore

(mothers, sisters, brothers)
